In the coming future relational databases are not going to meet the Business Intelligence requirements. We should think out of box and check out for alternatives.Siva Gudavallinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-35662945303785109122007-07-08T12:14:00.000-07:002007-07-08T12:14:00.000-07:00That interview was a great find.

They don't, however, use MySQL for anything related to search, spellcheck, language translation, personalization, etc. <BR/><BR/>As far as I understand it, MySQL is used for basically two things: prototyping and real-money transaction processing. Everything else is GFS, MapReduce, BigTable, etc. Yahoo! has 19 people full-time on Hadoop so they can get some of the same cost advantages that GOOG has w/r/t said infrastructure components. And Microsoft is hard at work trying to NIH their way into the same thing with Boxwood and Dryad (already in use by the adCenter Labs guys, I hear).<BR/><BR/>Of course, I'm sure he would also not mind you using Vertica, but at $25K/TB of data, its a little on the expensive side compared with MySQL. Or Hadoop, for that matter...Toby DiPasqualehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275795191015170220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-69518282142158918142007-07-07T14:41:00.000-07:002007-07-07T14:41:00.000-07:00Hi Brian,Stonebraker specifically points to Yahoo ...Hi Brian,<BR/><BR/>Stonebraker specifically points to Yahoo and Google as examples of companies who don't use relational databases.<BR/><BR/>If Google thought so highly of MySQL, they probably wouldn't have bothered building BigTable. <BR/><BR/>Many of their SQL-based systems were moved to BigTable including Blogger (which I worked on). I wouldn't be surprised if there was no MySQL at Google within a few years.Steve Jensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686593839106107926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-12990522418706483392007-07-07T08:53:00.000-07:002007-07-07T08:53:00.000-07:00Hi!While I agree with much of what he is saying, I...Hi!<BR/><BR/>While I agree with much of what he is saying, I think he hasn't looked much at Yahoo and Google. Both use a lot of MySQL.<BR/><BR/>I also read a lot of "come buy Vertica" in that message :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/> -BrianUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830205623476486215noreply@blogger.com
