So, If you haven't heard the news yet, google is migrating off MySQL for adwords. They decided to implement their own system, F1: http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/research.google.com/en/us/pubs/archive/38125.pdf It's a distributed SQL system, but they opted not to implement 'eventual consistency' -- which I very much agree with. It's fully transactional (I think?) and trades transaction latency for the sharding capabilities. It's an interesting take: how does it compare to postgres? Does it truly scale? merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
