You’re in luck good sir, the C’s could not close the deal last night. What types of voodoo are you practicing to help them along?

Google BigTables does this automatically. Google’s AppEngine platform is opening up sharding to us plebeians so we don’t have to learn how to configure MySQL for sharding (a quick google search for the topic didn’t yield any obvious tutorials last week). While there are other technical problems with AppEngine platform at the present time, such as migrating data forward when you made a Model/Schema change, it does start to teach normal developers the logic and the reasoning behind sharding. Two weeks ago at Google I/O, one of the team members gave a good introductory talk on how to use sharding. In fact, on the AppEngine plaform, you can’t join across tables because of the performance impact. I wonder how far away open source database such as CouchDb are from picking up the performance such that they could be considered a viable alternative to relational databases. The last I read, CouchDb has such an abysmal write throughput that it has a _long_ way to go.

Yeah, it definitely sucked having that crap title there for hours. Fortunately, I’ve diagnosed and even fixed the underlying problem already.

No, we should just go start our own company. Then we will never need to make resumes again.

That’s awesome - “this is mom, and this is mom’s plate”. I haven’t thought about that show in years.
