Not True. I have tested InnoDB and all seems good so far. I tested across
tables. All tables need to be InnoDB though. So unless someone can show me how
I'm wrong. It's all merely DB preference to me.

Which DB do you suggest? I'll put it on my list to look at.

I'm not concerned.

Well, I'm trying to design my stuff so that with a little work other databases
can be swapped in.
DB opinions are are like assholes... or something like that:-)
I so hate engaging in these "which is better" discussions. So much so that I
intend to support quite a few DBs before all is said and done.
Postgres comes to mind. Only, As far as I can tell, It doesn't support
tablespaces. This can be a problem when you are storing large files. Sure you
can use external references. But I'm not a advocate of that approach. Personal
taste I guess.
My repos will most likely start at about 50GB.
As for MySQL being a nightmare. Never had a problem installing, running, or
maintaining it.
Anyway, let me go back under the rock from which I came. When I have something
I will glading play review tenis:-)
Cheers,
gat
