Interesting discussion on Slashdot about the
relative recoverability
of Postgresql. If we stay with open source DBMS, perhaps at least
some of the database servers should be running alternative software.
it's probably a little early to blame mysql. most of livejournal's
problems, when the same thing happened to them, were caused by problems
with their RAID controllers rather than mysql itself.
Thanks for the background. And thanks for your hard work in getting our
Wiki back up and running.
