Even though I don't think this article is about design either:

Before you get to responding here, make sure to also check out the Prevayler website and some of the claims/ideas/philosophies from the head honcho there. Just wondering what the general consensus is.

I feel inundated by all the software products around. Many solve one problem only to present another problem that you won't find until months into the development. Most require a significant investment to develop the expertise needed to yield a net benefit.

Now here's a valuable insight to this thread: SQLTEAM should steal this smile from the prevalyer website.


HTH,

Following on SamC, One poster makes this comment in the FAQ's

"
Some real documentation needs to be created, with implementation specs, and real working examples
using the popular choices: SQL, Xpath, etc... Until then it is just another wierd and exotic
open source project, among the millions that exist on this big NET.

Best Regards,

This struck me harder than it normally would, I don't know why. I think I'm getting old.

I don't get it...

All the data is in memory (yeah right)...No transactions? Good for OLAP, but OLTP?

No Tables?

How do you get what you need? Need to read further...

And talk about flames...it's hot in there...

SELECT @@POST FROM Brain ORDER BY NewId()

That's correct! It's an AlphaNumeric!

From the site....

Is anyone currently using this non-database solution in production?
Hell no! Are you stupid?

If so, has it sped development because of the lack of OO-to-RDBMS complexity?
No. Reduced complexity? Are you smoking Crack?

Was there a significant learning curve to speak of?
Is, not was, there a significant learning curve? Hell yea. Take everything you know and throw it all out. Then learn this new backwards system and in the end you have a worthless pile of crap.

It's no wonder that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. NOT.
