I have been reading about the different storage options available with the
Redland Libraries and came across several terms that I find confusing.

 

In the  mySQL and SQLite storage summaries:

 

Indexed but not optimized.

 

 

In the  hashes storage summary:

 

Indexed.

 

I do understand the concept of a database index.  However I am not sure what
the "not optimized" is referring to.

 

Does this mean that using a Hashed Berkeley DB is both indexed and
optimized, and that "mySQL" is only indexed?  What are the application
ramifications to using a non-optimized storage option such as mySQL storage?
Is the "optimized" referring to database read or write performance,  memory
utilization, or disk size requirements?

 

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
