  1. Re:Another question on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: -1
    Nested loops are like candy to SQL server, and I've heard this is the same for Sybase (understandably). Deep sets of nested loops will kick the other databases I've tested in the teeth. Given an instruction with several nested loops and 16 million rows of data, I got results from SQL server in 5 minutes, results from Oracle 9 in an hour, and results from Postgres in 18 hours. This was a year ago and Postgres has changed, so it might be better now. Does MySQL handle them well?

    Because SQL Server and Sybase does not really perform nested loop, it optimizes it to hash join but still reports as nested loop. So should do Oracle and PostgreSQL but for some reasons in your tests they dailed to do so. Sometimes PostgreSQL optimizer need to be explicitly told not to use nested loop and use hash join instead

  2. Intel Marketing on Itanium Will Only Be Partly Supported by Longhorn · · Score: -1
    It proves again that Intel trademark has absolutely zero appeal. People use Intel processors because they are cheap and because they are compatible and can run older software. Intel releazes a processor that is expansive and uncompatible with wolder software, nobody buys it. No matter how many times advertizing of dancing engeneers in funny clothes are shown on TV.

    Same thing applies to Microsoft too. People buy Microsoft operating systems not because they love them but because they are cheap and compatible with previous software. Should Microsoft sell expensive and incompatible operating system nobody will buy it.

  11. Re:Shuttle on The Eyes of the Space Shuttle · · Score: 0
    I do not think that when astronauts who courageously put their lives on the line for the advancement of sciense die is funny. Period.

    But I think that my joke is very funny. It is not about astronauts dying for a cause but about politicians who for their personal enrichment insist on usage of outdated, expensive, astronaut-murdering technology that shuttle is.

    Hope I made myself clear. No offence to the astronauts.
