Re: London Django User Group
I live in St Albans but I am travel into London a few times a month so I wouldn't mind a meetup. My main criteria for the meetup would be that the pub has some real ale! That is assuming that people who want to attend are over 18.

Re: Email model
I'm hoping for a model that splits emails into several different tables, e.g. a table of senders, a table of recipients, the sent time, the text body, a table of attachments and possibly some other tables. If these are indexed I can create some forms and views that query the model to say show all emails that have an attachment and was sent between two dates that had multiple recipients. Hopefully this would help me manage my emails so I can actually find old ones quickly :-) Regards, Joe On 9/10/07, Anton P. Linevich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Greeting, Joe!

Email model
I would like to create a model for email so that I can write an application to collect all my emails and then I'll be able to search through them and actually find old relevant emails. Does this model exist anywhere or even better does this application exist?

Re: Which database, and why?
PostgreSQL scales better with more users http://tweakers.net/reviews/649/7 MySQL accepts the date 31st February 2007 and has several other lax views of rounding data or squeezing it in when it should reject it. http://safari.oreilly.com/0596002114/msql2-CHP-16-SECT-3 MySQL only supports transactions with the InnoDB backend which has been bought by Oracle. http://www.innodb.com/ You can do a hot backup ( backup when the database is open ) of PostgreSQL without buying software - you have to buy the InnoDB hot backup software. The best point for MySQL is that the query "select count(*) from table" is much quicker than PostgreSQL. You have to remember to auto vaccuum a postgresql database to get rid of old data that is no longer required. MySQL is dual licensed both open source and commercial. I still haven't got my head around this one - if you distribute a product that includes MySQL for money then you need to buy a license. PostgreSQL is the BSD license so is totally free to use as you wish. In general if you don't already have expertise in MySQL then you should always choose PostgreSQL - my opinion for what it's worth :-) On 7/20/07, walterbyrd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I know that PostgreSQL is recommended, but why?

Re: Time duration - which field type to use
Thanks, that is what I was thinking a field containing the number of seconds is the most flexible - shame there are no timedelta fields in the database.

Time duration - which field type to use
The BBC provides XML files of all their transmitted programmes. For those who are interested they are held here http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/feeds/tvradio/doc.html . I have written a simple XML parsing programme that extracts the data I require so now I'm about to write the Django model to store this data - all of this is obvious except for the duration of the programme. This is presented as:- PT00H25M00S This means the duration is 25 minutes long. What would be the best field to keep this data in? I suspect that I will use this data to calculate the end time of the programme but the duration is also useful. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
