 David Van Couvering 's BlogAugust 2005 ArchivesThe problem of identityPosted by davidvc on August 31, 2005 at 09:09 PM | Permalink | Comments (3)One of the key aspects of database design is coming up with a
unique identity for each
record in the database. This may seem like a simple database design problem, but it actually has significant impacts on life in our society.
A
thread on Server Side talks about the relative performance of
Derby compared to other databases, based on a series of tests runs at
polepos. One person evaluating these results uncovered two very
common mistakes that we have encountered when people are running
performance comparisons with Derby.
Jonathan Schwartz, C|Net, and mePosted by davidvc on August 05, 2005 at 05:05 PM | Permalink | Comments (3)After Derby graduated last week, those of us working on Derby thought it would be a great time to get the word out about Derby and Sun's support of Derby. Noticing that Jonathan Schwartz was scheduled for a “fireside chat” with Nat Torkington the following Wednesday at OSCON, we saw it as a golden opportunity for us to reach a large audience to congratulate Apache Derby for graduating, to announce that Sun is putting resources behind Derby, and how we think it's a great Java database. Hello from OSCON 2005!Posted by davidvc on August 04, 2005 at 12:43 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)It only seems appropriate that my first blog entry is at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference, a place where it seems everyone blogs. I came here because I've just recently gotten involved in the Apache Derby open source project, and want to learn as much as I can about the open source culture, community and tools. Derby has just had a couple good milestones – just last week we graduated from incubation (somebody here called it “probation”) and is now officially part of the DB project, and just today we did our 10.1 release with a lot of great new features and bugfixes. | |
