Hello Julian, Unfortunally I don't have any benchmark numbers. Anyway, you can still check this address <http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-slide/SlideInProduction> where you can confirm that there many people using TxStore for production scenarios.
Slide does have a cache mechanism and it's in part the reason why database and TxStore are more or less equivalent in performance: once the metainformation data is read, it is returned from the cache instead of the store. As an aside, there were some tests where we found out that one DB Store (postgres or mysql, don't remember well) would significantly perform worst than TxStore. Hope this helps, Miguel Figueiredo -----Original Message----- From: Julian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: sexta-feira, 19 de Maio de 2006 15:38 To: Slide Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Slide Migration: File Dump and Store Change Hi, Thanks for the help. Do you have any metrics that indicate that the database is a better solution? Is the database folder structure cached like the XML folder structure so that if I change the meta data in the database, it isn't reflected in the runtime until a server restart?

Only PUTs and PROPATCHs should be needed if you are not using any of the other 'advanced' features like versioning and access control. Are you sure that you want to use a database? From my experience, TxStores are more robust AND don't really loose performance. maybe you would like to do a benchmarking. Hope this helps, Miguel From: Julian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: quinta-feira, 18 de Maio de 2006 17:17 To: Miguel Figueiredo Subject: Re: Slide Migration: File Dump and Store Change Miguel, I believe it was Slide 1.0.16, which is not compatible and would require a heavy transformation of data to be compatible. The other problem is how to get it into the database format instead of the XML format. This leads me to believe a GET, PUT, and PROPFIND, etc. will be required.
