2 years? Have you seen how long databases last in this industry? I worked at a place that had been rocking the same original NoSql precursor for at least 4 decades.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoIngress? That's still kinda SQL. That old IBM one?
- tjalfi 3y agoWere they using IMS[0] or MUMPS[1]? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Information_Management_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Information_Management_Sys... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS
- hiAndrewQuinn 3y agoMUMPS. It's a lovely little company based out of Verona, WI that I actually wouldn't mind going back to if I ever move back to the States.
- therealdrag0 3y agoThe question isn’t “how long could a db be used if desired or left alone?”; the question is @how long does it take to migrate off if forced?”
- turtlebits 3y agoTime is money. A migration could easily require code changes + testing, which can add up. If you're a small business that has to outsource this, I could see the cost of migration costing more than their aggregate DB hosting costs so far.
