Database sharding 101 - part I : Lifescaler
- gaius 18y agoHow is this different from partitioning which has been in Oracle since version 8 in 1997, over 10 years ago? Seriously, there is no need to coin a new buzzword for this feature. Just call it what the entire rest of the database industry calls it!
- SomeoneElse 18y ago1. Oracle is not free 2. Oracle doesn't do it for huge amounts of data - because it's too expensive 3. It's not partitioning, because it's done at app level
- gaius 18y ago1) MySQL isn't free either 2) I am sitting looking at a 25T partitioned Oracle database and that's by far from large as these things go and 3) I've been using MySQL since the late 90s and remember perfectly well when they told people to handle foreign keys and rollbacks in the app too. They ALWAYS say this about features they don't have.
