  3. Re:Spelling? on Pro MySQL · · Score: 0

    MySQL lacks very important PostgreSQL feature - COALESCE hell ;)

  4. Re:MySQL 5 on Pro MySQL · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately all the MySQL 5.0 advances makes it slower than MySQL 4. Lots of hi-load webapps don't need to use triggers, but very speed sensitive. Seems like 4.1 can save up to 10% time against MySQL 5. Websites typically performs lots of simple queries so this is a big point for me to keep MySQL4 on my shared hosting servers. If you need a triggers - go ahead, buy a dedicated server and install MySQL5.

  12. Backup your data daily if you are using RAID0 on Raid 0: Blessing or hype? · · Score: 0

    More disks you are using in raid gives you more chances to lose your data. Daily backup is only way to save your work. I force my programmers to backup of their data to our office samba server.

  16. Re:Linux on BSD Hacks · · Score: 0

    Of course, todays linux is good, but major linux vendors should to make a choice between developing server os or system for desktop applications. We all know there lots of differences. Server OS cannot be easy-to-use. And desktop cannot be extremely stable.

  19. another player on the market on S3 DeltaChrome S4 Graphics Chip Reviewed · · Score: 1

    It's is always good to have alternative manufacturer on the market. For example I still use Geforce 2MX and do not need any faster video card. It fast enough to play QIII from time to time with coworkers :) So I bought radeon 9200 for all new comuters in my office and they are perfectly used for web programming, UNIX administration etc.
