Just chiming in  . . . we’ve taken a somewhat different approach and actually encourage our programmers to build out thier own DBs.  We’re using Postgres to aggregate many varied datasources into postgres as a cahing system, and then develop against this aggregated data.  Yes, we understand that the realtime stuff is a laggy process.  The intent here is to give the programmers a background in DB operation and performance expectations, especially since we primarilry build for Web Use.

I’d love to see a blog post about this.


Me too!! :c)   It’s funny you mention this, I’ve actually been experimenting with different Blogging tech for just this purpose.  Not sure when something will pop out the other end though.  :c)
