Yes, I agree.
But, in many (if not most) situations the ms you loose by doing more round trips then necessary are not worth how much more maintainable the system is.
Especially when there is probably some programming or query optimization that will save you seconds, when reducing the round trips is a matter of ms.
- Jweb_Guru 10y agoIt's very system dependent, but VoltDB is designed for systems that require up to a million tps. "A matter of ms" is not irrelevant in such systems.
- Kesty 10y agoYes, ok I agree. 100% agree. But micro optimization has always the same caveat: Of course it is not irrelevant, it might even be very important, in very specific cases. But if you are not one of those cases (and you should already know if you are) you shouldn't even bother with it.
- Jweb_Guru 10y agoI think that everything you just said categorizes VoltDB already, though. They're not advertising themselves as a general purpose database. You'll know if you have a use case for it.
