    Did not try that kind of index on postgres. Thx. Will keep that on the list for benchmarking.

    Not at all. However, clickhouse is one of the underlying DBs on our list of test ports. We have been VERY curious how it would perform on clickhouse. In fact, there are some partic…

    "terrifying" is understood. However, the system is NOT indexing every single permutation of attributes possible. That would be impossible of course. Please see the FAQ on indexing …

    So right. It is VERY difficult to query a hand-rolled EAV structure. Kinda like editing a binary image with a text editor, lol. Please check out some of the demo queries. Hope you …

    That WOULD be horrible. But we arent doing that. In essence we found that JOINS using optimized indexes are less costly than full table scans (on unindexed attributes).

    And just to be clear. This is NOT a mutually exclusive solution. Just as people use a combination of different databases for different projects and even within the same project, SF…

    Thanks! - How is data stored internally? During our beta we will be hosting the databases and the underlying table structures are not viewable. However, on release, you will have f…

    Several document-based database systems claim to be schamaless, yet when your data demands cross-document relations (esp. many-to-many), something ugly rears its head which usually…
