I don’t think it exists, but I will say that if you aren’t already
committed to maxdb, think seriously about using it. Administering and
tuning it is a real pain, it’s a resource hog, and the codebase is a
complete cluster*&*&, a twisted combination of Pascal and C. It is a
very capable database, but for all the pain it will put you through
I’m not sure it’s worth it.

And what database you recommend for an enterprise
solution with RoR ? Mysql or postgresql ?
Or another ?

Jose,

That seems like a loaded question, so don’t be surprised when you get
back 263 different answers starting with “it depends…”. I would say
that either of those choices are fine for a majority of efforts. Of
course, a couple of key items to consider might be which databases are
currently supported in your organization and what performance/support
expectations are vs. what support staff are available for those
technologies.

I would also suggest a little research on the multiple other databases
that ROR supports, e.g. Oracle. I am not one to propose installing a
proprietary technology if it is not already there, but Oracle is pretty
well entrenched in the enterprise and might be well accepted for a Rails
effort as well it IT is already supporting other apps on it.

FWIW,
Nathan

I know. Thanks again.

apps on it.

I researched about it, and only find totally support,
in open source terms, for Mysql, Postgresql and
sqlite.

I will start to develop a sales system with Ruby, and
need more information to choose the database.

Do you have any benchmark with Ruby and the databases
?

Thanks again,

Jose.

This question should be about the last one you ask. It has to run
before it runs fast.
