The language you have been learning had best be C or Assembly. Almost anything else and your database will always be the weakest link in performance.

- jacquesm 13y agoI really don't see how you could suggest to learn assembly in this context. I'm not aware of any production database for commodity hardware written in assembler. (in the embedded world there are a few but that's specialty stuff).
- drakaal 13y agoI don't think commodity hardware was specified as a project goal. If you run any of the big EMC, or NetAPP, or Exadata systems those are built with many of the core components written in Assembly.
- bernatfp 13y agoWell I wanted to write it in Go. I've seen there are already some DB related projects written in such language http://golang.cat-v.org/go-code http://golang.cat-v.org/go-code
