Hi Mike,
The architectures of the engines are radically different, so you can
expect different performance characteristics.
But the main differences and advantages will show in the future, as
the engines are developed further. I spoke about the future directions
of PBXT at the last user's conference, here is the presentation: http://www.primebase.org/download/pbxt-uc-2008.pdf
Some difference as the moment: PBXT has foreign key support like
InnoDB, which Falcon does not (yet). And PBXT can stream BLOB data to
and from the database, which no other engine can do (yet). This
functionality is provided by the "BLOB Streaming" engine from: www.blobstreaming.org
.
Best regards,
Paul

Paul McCullagh,
What's the advantage of using PBXT over InnoDb or the new Falcon
transactional engine? TIA

Hi All!
I am pleased to announce that the Beta version of PBXT has just been
released. PBXT is a fast, lightweight, transactional storage engine
for MySQL. More information is available at http://www.primebase.org.
You can download the source code at http://www.primebase.org/
download.
I have also updated the documentation for this version (http://www.primebase.org/documentation
).
Configuring and building the engine is easier than ever now. To
configure PBXT all you have to do is specify the path to the MySQL
source code tree (after building MySQL), for example:
./configure --with-mysql=/home/foo/mysql/mysql-5.1.26-rc
The PBXT configure command will retrieve all required options from
the
MySQL build. For example whether to do a debug or optimized build and
where to install the plugin are determined automatically, depending
on
how you configured MySQL.
This was a source of some mistakes when building the plugin, so I
think it is really cool!
My thanks to all who have tested PBXT so far. If you haven't tried
out
the engine yet, please do!
Let me know if you have any comments or questions, I'll be glad to
help.
Best regards,
Paul
