Comment on MDBM – High-speed database

Comments

I'm curious to see what the total timings would be like to get the data in a useable form - as opposed to just fetching a record from a data store. As noted - these data stores just store and retrieve data and don't do things like joins or ordering, etc.

Could there be a comparison between these datastores and the traditional ACID compliant databases when it comes to retrieving actual data in a useful format? E.g. perhaps doing a join or an ordering of some sort? I don't expect databases (e.g. Oracle, MS SQL Server, DB2) to be faster in raw performance, but I do expect them to be faster in terms of total development time and bug fixing since the application developer wouldn't have to do the locking, page pinning/unpinning, etc. manually.
