&gt; I have several requests out to them for performance metrics with no
&gt; reply as yet.  Unfortunately I'm not facile enough with DB's or SQL to
&gt; do decent tests myself with any certainty that I'd be testing anything
&gt; other than the limits of my own understanding.

I was talking with them about their multi-user product, which they
advertised, for a brief while, as being free, in a linux-only version.  I
have yet to hear back from them.  Consequently, we are re-evaluating our
DB needs, and will probably look elsewhere.  On the whole, I've been less
than impressed with Tache Group.

We may still use the single user version, but as I understand such things,
that would require us to handle all the locking and data consistancy
mecahnics on the mud-server side, something I was hoping to avoid by using
a DB that would let us have multiple queries running simultaneously.

bleah.. that was a 4 line sentance and a half... ;)
 
&gt; &gt; Did they write anything about the MUSH DB expiriement, btw?  I'd
&gt; &gt; love to get my hands on any documents they produced.
&gt; 
&gt; I'm currently chatting with Marcus Ranum and others off list (Andrew
&gt; Molitor poked his head in, and am still trying to unearth Jennifer
&gt; Smith) in an effort to unearth the Wizards list archives.  Marcus has
&gt; made several interesting comments about Uber and Unter's performance
&gt; metrics.  I'm awaiting permission to forward his mast missive to the
&gt; list.

*eagerly awaiting any tidbits they can send our way*
