In comments to my previous post I got number number of comments saying if MySQL would not have multiple storage engine interface it would not allow people to do various very cool stuff. And I agree with this. The question is how cool you want your database operation to be ? Visiting customers I see 2 very distinct groups of MySQL Users

Users what want cool database This is where a lot of energy is flowing (and Drizzle is picking up a lot on these market) - they want to do stuff …

By mid summer we will see production releases of Rails 3, Ruby 1.9, and Drizzle, and that convergence is worth paying attention to. Both Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9 offer raw performance improvements across the board. In the meantime, Drizzle already provides a fully async libdrizzle driver (talks to MySQL & Drizzle) which we could adopt to future proof our applications. Combine all three with a fibered ActiveRecord driver, an async application server such as Thin, and we …

MySQL execution. I'm wondering if we're going to see any improvements in this space by Oracle, MariaDB or Drizzle . I think Drizzle is in advantage here - with simplifying MySQL functionality a lot they probably can also simplify expression handling to be faster.

Scalable RDBMSs: MySQL Cluster, ScaleDB, Drizzle, and VoltDB.

The paper describes each system and then compares them on the dimensions of Concurrency Control, Data Storage Replication, Transaction Model, General Comments, Maturity, K-hits, License Language.

And the winner is: there are no winners. Yet. Rick concludes by pointing to a great convergence:

I believe that a few of these systems will gain critical mass and key players, and will pull

away from the others …

…simple, lightweight, fast database?" And then you saw people going off and starting to work on Drizzle and those sorts of things.

How do you balance that request for one more thing versus wanting not to lose sight of what you set out to build and the scenarios that you really wanted to nail?

Eliot: I think it comes down to a few key things. One is making sure that we don't regress on performance, which is one thing we're very careful about. We constantly monitor our performance …
