#1 If you get real-time chat working with MySql alone.
- swombat 17y agoCouchdb isn't a good comparison to mysql - it's got an HTTP interface built in. My point is: It's trivial to put together a chat application with any HTTP backend that's capable of storing and retrieving data. So what's all the excitement about?
- petercooper 17y agoTotally possible. Set up a MySQL server with a public username and password, define some stored procedures to keep the API simple. Share the procedures and invite people to connect using any MySQL client.
- nexneo 17y ago"...invite people to connect using any MySQL client." That is useful.
- petercooper 17y agoThat the HTTP-powered Web browser is a universally popular piece of software has no relevance on its effectiveness. Chatting through a Web browser is as formally arbitrary as chatting through any other sort of client.
