Hi
Just noticed that NuSphere are now including the Gemini table type in their
free binary download. It seems that everything is there, apart from the
online backup, which is only available in the commercial version.
I need transactions, and took a look at InnoDB. But it seems to have some
pretty serious drawbacks, such as fixed table sizes, not being able to
provide cardinality info to count(*), a manual that assumes you have a PHD
in database application programming etc.
The Gemini table is based on an enterprise proven Progress embedded database
engine, and would seem the way to go. Has anyone got practical experience of
deploying it on Linux? Any feedback would be much appreciated.
