Hi All, I am not an out and out techie, but would still like to know more about the stability of the PostgreSQL / MySQL database used in case of say, 10 / 25 / 50 / 100 / 500 / 1000 users. What are the db restoration processes executed and how, in case of PostgreSQL or say, McKoi / MySQL? Somebody, pls shed light on the issue. Can a stabler db like Oracle be used?
Another thing with the usage of MySQL is that it is not an RDBMS, leading to code complexities when you need to incorporate more effective productivity-oriented features along with the vanilla e-mail. Even a simple thing like, say, generating a report on number of e-mails sent to a particular account with timestamps can be a problem. What is the way out? >From a business strategy point of view, will the introduction of Status: O database-centric e-mail servers with/without messaging and groupware functionalities result in a non-competitive offering in the market as better flexibilities are offered through a file storage mechanism? Have other players in the same space already analyzed the database route, discovered it to be full of complexities and opted for a stabler file storage model? Does a database approach speak of unsound strategy and fuzzy R&D or is there light at the end of the tunnel? Look forward to hear from all you guys out there... Best regards, NS Kiran India.
