Given the choice between doing right the first time, or having the second largest site on the internet, I'll take the latter, and deal with the problems of not doing it right the first time. -Hank On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 10:45 AM, Jerry Schwartz je...@gii.co.jp wrote: Let this be a lesson to all of those designers who say That will never happen.

He is pushing his own products here, Looking at other implications of moving to a NoSQL system I would stay with an SQL system. NoSql has its place, but maybe not in such an environment. http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2011/04/nosql-but-even-less-security.html Regards Michael Cole.

Google, Facebook, Twitter if you want and others are pioneers of this era, I think they have also money to invest in research, in fact they hire the very talented people. I think it is part of the game trialerror, and honestly I dont see many alternatives to MySQL, especially when they started. There'll be only one!
