yes, google-base is definitely not a relational database. however, i would say it is efficient -- despite xml being the underlying data format; primarily because it uses the same similar technology as google itself.
a few seconds to return 250 items out of over six-hundred-million "records" isn't too bad. but with restrictions on updates and features that don't approach an rdbms in many other areas it appears it's a mismatch for the application's requirements. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
