RE: [libreoffice-marketing] List of Events to attend in 2012

Dear Tom:

I agree that MySQL is not a good choice because of Oracle.  There are some other databases that may 
be worthy of consideration besides MariaDB.  I understand that MariaDB is intended as a dropin 
replacement for MySQL and that there is value in this compatibility with the LAMP and other 
implementation paradigms from the link at: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-versus-mysql.  

What about considering PostgreSQL?  While the following link, 
http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL is not directly applicable to the MariaDB fork there 
are many valid points for consideration.  The same with this other less recent link: 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Why_PostgreSQL_Instead_of_MySQL_2009.

Drizzle is the other fork which got my attention because of its addressing modern CPU 
architectures, see:  http://www.drizzle.org/content/about-drizzle-project and 
http://docs.drizzle.org/brief_history_of_drizzle.html  for a quick overview. From their home page 
the positive affirmative statement that it is ACID transactional is worth exploring further.  

My focus comes from a hardware view and what will be the most efficient for processing and then the 
ease for programming and future scalability.  When I think of scalability I also think of being 
able to include Unicode along with different regional data representations. 

The idea is to be able to design so the model can be used for other purposes as well.  Until you 
wrote about MariaDB I was not aware of the fork or that of Drizzle.  

All the Best,

Volodymyr-------------

Hi :)
My vote would be for MariaDb.  Is anyone on this list also on the Web-design List?  I think it 
would be best to ask them to set-up the Database?

Errr, MySql is run by Oracle so it might be worth avoiding using that one!  MariaDb forked off and 
is a drop-in replacement for it in much the same way that Libreffice is a drop-in replacement for 
OpenOffice (ie MariaDb has developed a lot faster than MySql recently)

Regards from
Tom :)

Hallo Andreas,

I am not sure, how to fix that in a wiki. :-)

There are several types of events in different regions of the world,
some of global interest, some only for some native languages, some
both. We want to keep track of them as well as keep an archive. We
want to apply organizational info, such as who is at the booth, who
will be there for a talk.

I think, this diserves a relational database, rather than a set of
wiki pages. In a wiki, we will end up with several pages, none of
them complete, many of them inconsistent. For example look at
ChemnitzerLinuxTage and LinuxTag on

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2012
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/de

One will have to follow both, in order to get all available information.

It´s a pity, that I don´t have the time to create a DB and bring it
up. :-/

Gruß

Stefan
