This is just a bad joke.

Well of course you do. You are the one who is deliberately wasting other HNers time with it.

Weak argument. HN is to look at interesting links that "tickle the mind". My link does that. Being the second most upvoted comment in the thread proves that. I feel sorry it tickled yours the wrong way, benatkin.

#63What constitutes a DB? Can we have "custom" as an option? We wrote 2 very light, single-use DB's for two specific use cases in order to get some performance we needed on real-time data, but they don't really have any kind of management or generic SQL-like access.
Great point, I've added this option.

#64VoltDB
Interesting! How is VoltDB working out for you?
We're just starting to get it going at my current company, so I can't really speak to its production qualities. The goal is for real-time statistics/analysis on call records: 100-2000 rec/sec, keeping a day to a week or two of records.
I've done tests previously, and can confirm that they aren't making the performance numbers up :). 3x $500 servers (~18 months ago: single quad-core Core2) were able to handle over 100K tx/sec with k=1 (2 copies of each record). It was pretty easy to get it up and running and the out-of-box performance required no tweaking on my part to achieve excellence (apart from making sure NTP was working well).

Wow. VoltDB is on my short list for technologies to evaluate for a transaction processor. I've been reading the documentation and trying to get a grip on the general implications of tying the fate of a company to a relatively unknown player in the DB field so your information is very valuable. Thank you very much.

#66Excel. Someone save me.
Poor soul, even Access would be a step up for you.

Similarly, Justin Bieber is actually one of the best artists of all time.

#68We use MySQL exclusively, unless a client forces us into MsSQL/IIS. I am trying to convert us to PostgresQL over time, but I still have to get a good guide on how to use it.
Honestly the official docs are really good.

#69Does Hive+HDFS count? I know it's ugly, but we use it.
