  From the description on the mysql.org website, gemini tables look
 pretty good. But that´s maybe because they are not so easy on
 describing the problems with their tables as mysql.com on their
 website (with innodb and bdb tables). Also, it looks just like
 marketing talk so i refuse to form an opinion from that.

I beta tested Gemini before things got interesting.

The technology *is* good, but it's also rather controversial (as
you've noticed).

 So could somebody more enlightened than me please fix us up on the
 technological benefits/drawbacks on these table types?

Gemini provides crash recovery, record-level locking, and high levels
of concurrency (as their documentation probably says).  It really does
work--or did when I last tried it.

 Also, I would very much love to hear about these legal
 problems. mysql.com still says But the products they [NuSphere]
 have shipped are and continue to be in GPL violation.. Nusphere
 gives you an Gemini GPL Source download.  One of the two must be
 wrong :-))

Let's just say that it's rather complex.  The mail archives for this
list already contain a fair amount of information on the topic.  And
there's a lot of information that you simply won't get until the legal
stuff is all over.

 I was about to type something to the effect please shake hands,
 stop sueing each other and live happily. but i see that i´m not
 clued enough about the situation to have a real opinion.

I think that everyone involved would like it to be that simple and
easy, but it's clearly not.

 Is somebody?

Yes, but most of the folks who know the details really can't discuss
them.

Re: GEMINI Table Type

2001-09-11 Thread indrek siitan

Hi,

 does MYSQL.COM has a table type same as GEMINI ( GEMINI
 does not complies with GPL according to what I read) that support
 the ACID PROPERTIES ( TRANSACTIONS ) (MyIsam, Inodb ?) ...

yes. MySQL contains support for BDB and InnoDB tables, that are 
transaction-safe.

if you are downloading a binary distribution, you should download
the MySQL-Max binary, that has BDB/InnoDB compiled in (the 
default MySQL does not).


Rgds,
Indrek

GEMINI Table Type

2001-09-10 Thread ROGGER ALEXIS VASQUEZ MARTINEZ

Hi :
First of all I've test for a short period MYSQL, I
think is great ,,, recently I was navigating MYSQL.COM
and I found and read about the dispute with MYSQL.ORG
I enter the site to see what it was ...
I notice they promote a type of table name GEMINI ...
that support the ACID properties ...

What I understand is that MYSQL.COM  MYSQL.ORG, but
does MYSQL.COM has a table type same as GEMINI ( GEMINI does not complies
with GPL according
to what I read)
that support the ACID PROPERTIES ( TRANSACTIONS ) (MyIsam, Inodb ?) ...

Sorry if someone already post this Question, and sounds like
a echo to all of you, but I am really interest in using MYSQL
to develop a project and I am evaluating it ...

Thanks a lot

MyISAM does not (fully), InnoDB and BDB do support ACID
properties. Have a look at the documentation in the manual to learn
more about these table types.

Bye,

Benjamin.


PS: Why did you try mail this to the announce-list? It certainly
doesn't belong there.

Correct.

with GPL according

I think you may be referring to material that predates Gemini's release
under GPL.

that support the ACID PROPERTIES ( TRANSACTIONS ) (MyIsam, Inodb ?) ...

The distributions available at mysql.com do not include code for the
Gemini table type.  The MySQL+Gemini distributions at mysql.org do.

The distributions from both sites also support ISAM, MyISAM, BDB, and
InnoDB table types.  You may have to compile from source with the appropriate
configure flags to enable support for the table types you want to evaluate.
