Short learning curve and very quick for tasks with high-frequency reads, low-frequency writes, and no strong need for data integrity. There are tasks for which that's a good set of tradeoffs. That describes what a lot of web developers think they need. (I believe a lot of web developers underestimate their need for data integrity until it bites them in the ass.) -Patrick _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
