MaxDB by MySQL

[rubyrhinosaur]

Hey guys,
I was surfing around http://www.mysql.com/ when I found something about MAXDB... it says it is alot more heavy duty, thus I was wondering if it was compatible with the databases we currently use and if so, is it compatable with eqemu.
It got me wondering if this db proggie would beable to hold up to more of the pounding from eqemu, because sometimes I find that mysql cant take the havoc.
anyways, some input would be GREAT! :)
thanks

Trying to work a Normalization of the Mysql DB, i think we can pick up some speed if we work the DB alittle more. but MySQL is a rocking DB IMHO...

MySQL rocks

mysql is pretty nice.. Its not feature rich , but its fast and simple... Could always use heaps, but they dangerous for dynamic data (wouldnt want to store char. info in them). Might be able to put some of our static data in them, access to them is much faster than traditional tables...

It would be nice for someone to go through and make sure we're in at least the first 3 normalized forms on the database.. (if not more)

If you run across anything we can do to better normalize it, please let us now...

i can check for the first three, but before i do can you tell me (here is where i'm code stupid) if i change the db will the queries still be called correctly?

probably not, but it depends on what you change and the query..

If we were doing select * that would be one thing, but we do select f1,f2,f3, etc... So ultimately, it depends..

MySQL is great for now, i was just thinking in the future, perhaps there would be something more to work with.
Just trying to broaden the horizon, and perhaps we could make things run a little smoother with more heavy duty apps.

ok, going to work the DB vigerously. going to post in Eqemu dev forum with my thoughts on breaking the db down...
