Ironic that transactions and guaranteed data integrity as performance tradeoffs are now being used as arguments for MySQL and against those pesky new up-and-coming open source databases.
- tptacek 16y agoFunny: yes. Meaningful: no. The tradeoffs between MySQL and memory-backed k-v stores are in a different league than the old tradeoffs between MySQL, Postgres, and Oracle.
- moe 16y agoI wouldn't call it a different league. MySQL had severe data consistency issues before InnoDB came around and even today, on InnoDB, there is a variety of situations that will cause silent data truncation or silent data loss.
