Wow. Running a query takes down the db? That sounds like a major problem. How can that happen? Maybe returning incorrect or incomplete results due to shardin

Maybe returning incorrect or incomplete results due to sharding... But taking the db down? That's very... Unexpected.
- asadlionpk 9y agoNope. A clear server crash with "Internal Server Error" and the DB being totally unavailable for 10-15 mins. Apparently it's 'normal'.
- calpaterson 9y agoNever used firebase but for what it's worth you can take down most databases with a bad enough query.
- asadlionpk 9y agoYou are right. But we usually have multiple ways to query our data in a DB. Not many ways to do that with the limited Firebase API.
- briffle 9y agoIn the RDBMS world, you can take down pretty much any database by giving someone in accounting a copy of Crystal Reports :)
- vram22 9y agoHow, specifically? Something like a very complex query joining too many tables, or maybe a full Cartesian product of n > 2 tables?
