| 19:47.32 | jshipley | MySQL might not be a "real database," but it is a very popular database. |
| 19:47.51 | Jayce^ | and a very usable one for a large number of cases |
| 19:48.52 | Sargun | jshipley, no, that's a specific quality of a database. |
| 19:49.07 | Sargun | and there are different types of loads. |
| 19:50.11 | jshipley | Ok. Still, people who need Oracle would never try to use MySQL instead, and the people most likely to use MySQL would be spending a lot of unecessary money on Oracle. |
| 19:50.35 | Jayce^ | yup |
| 19:50.41 | sjansen | Real Database: ACID - Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability |
| 19:51.12 | Jayce^ | sjansen: be careful though, you get in that discussion with orbit, and he'll laugh at even calling Oracle a *real* database |
| 19:51.56 | sjansen | I have no problem defining "real databse" as continuum. With Oracle at one end, and MySQL just barely off the other end. |
| 19:52.37 | sjansen | Point is, though, why use MySQL when you could use Postgresql instead? |
| 19:52.52 | Jayce^ | 'cause you can't always.. |
| 19:53.07 | Jayce^ | I hate to fight real hard to get PG in at my previous company |
| 19:53.08 | harleypig | Sargun: you were looking for me? |
| 19:53.12 | sjansen | With the possible exception of MySQL's limited clustering support, Postgresql is better in just about every way. |
| 19:53.21 | Jayce^ | big big oracle shop, yet had to problem with mysql on stuff |
| 19:53.45 | Jayce^ | sjansen: I wouldnt' quite go that far.. tuning PG can be a far far bigger PITA than mysql |
| 19:54.27 | goozbach | sjansen: clustering? |
| 19:54.36 | Jayce^ | goozbach: ndb, etc.. |
| 19:54.37 | goozbach | I don't know I'd call this clustering |
| 19:54.49 | goozbach | it's a hack at the most |
| 19:54.50 | Jayce^ | goozbach: what you are doing is not clustering (in that sense) |
| 19:54.53 | jshipley | Software sucks, period. Oracle might not be the best possible database, but it's pretty much the best that exists now. |
| 19:54.57 | Jayce^ | ndb is real clustering |
| 19:54.59 | goozbach | and it's the bane of my existence |
| 19:55.03 | goozbach | ndb huh? |
| 19:55.26 | Jayce^ | ndb is the in memory cluster they traded for with ericcson |
| 19:55.34 | goozbach | oh yeah |
| 19:55.39 | goozbach | mysqlcluster |
| 19:55.41 | jshipley | "Software sucks" == "Software is incredibly useful and can do all sorts of things, but falls far short of it's potential." |
| 19:55.47 | goozbach | didn't know it as ndb |
| 19:55.53 | Jayce^ | was the original name |
| 19:55.56 | goozbach | it's a pain in the arse anyhow |
| 19:56.27 | eggyknap | is trying hard to keep from throwing himself at this discussion :) |
| 19:56.44 | Jayce^ | so people seem to not mention much in this debate (the oracle buying sun/mysql) is that sun has had it's hands in PG far longer than mysql |
| 19:57.10 | Jayce^ | still has berkus etc as employees don't they? (eggynap can answer that better than me probably) |
| 19:57.18 | jshipley | eggyknap: why avoid it? Go ahead and throw yourself in. |

| 19:57.38 | eggyknap | The only really active PG person still @ Sun that I know of is Jignesh Shah, who does lots of performance stuff. |
| 19:57.49 | eggyknap | Berkus and Eisenstrat both left several months ago |
| 19:57.53 | Jayce^ | ahh |

| 20:28.36 | Sargun | Does this make enough sense: Specs are like porn, what's in them always sounds awesome, but you know you can never really have it. |
| 20:28.45 | Sargun | or you know it's not real |
| 20:30.25 | unum | that makes sense enough |
| 20:33.18 | eggyknap | "Perl Best Practices" features a quote something like: Documentation [in your code] is like sex. If it's good, it's really really good. Even when it's bad, it's better than nothing. |

| 21:14.11 | fadein | does anybody know about any command-line tools for modifying PDFs? I want to, for example, concatenate two PDFs into one file |
| 21:14.49 | goozbach | pdftools? |
| 21:15.11 | fadein | goozbach: looks like that one works on the images within the PDF |
| 21:15.48 | fadein | I could have sworn I read about one recently |
| 21:16.24 | macnewbold | fadein: there are such tools for postscript, and converters for pdf<->ps, so that might be a good bet |
| 21:16.30 | macnewbold | despite the roundabout method |
| 21:16.48 | fadein | I'm not opposed to roundabout, so long as the results are good! |
| 21:16.50 | jsmith | fadein: pdftk |
| 21:16.57 | jsmith | fadein: or pdfmerge |
| 21:17.23 | jsmith | fadein: pdfmerge is a simple merge utility... pdftk is a full-fledged PDF toolkit |
| 21:18.15 | fadein | jsmith: thx for the suggestion. I'm emerging pdftk righ tnow. |
| 21:19.22 | fadein | jsmith: oops. Looks like my gcc isn't 1337 enough for gcj - that's the java compiler, right? |
| 21:19.41 | jsmith | Aye... |
| 21:19.43 | jsmith | Try pdfmerge |
| 21:19.48 | fadein | well, guess that's what I get for running gentoo. I'll tell you how it goes in a while :) |
| 21:20.18 | jsmith | http://microtronyx.com/pdfmerge/ |
| 21:21.51 | fadein | jsmith: yeah, I'll give that a try while I wait |
| 21:22.15 | fadein | jsmith: thx for the link. I couldn't find pdfmerge in gentoo's repository, so you saved me a google search. |
| 21:22.33 | fadein | :) |
| 21:22.40 | jsmith | Whatever works... always happy to share |
