Smart Home Of The Future Designed For
Elderly
05/19/2004 04:23 AM
The BBC has an article about yet another "smart home of the future" with the focus here being on building technology to help care for the elderly. Some of it seems pretty cool (whether for the elderly or not), but much of it seems to be based on the idea that the elderly people using the smart home of the future will have little to no computer experience. While that may be true for some older users today, you have to wonder how long that will be true. Especially in developed countries (where these things are more likely), more and more people joining the ranks of the elderly will have some basic computing experience.

MySQL Kicks Puppies And Steals From The
Elderly
09/06/2004 04:37 PM

Chu Yeow rounds up a couple of sites that have a bone to pick with MySQL. They outline a couple of them that I didn't know about that sound like real scalability problems, like:

  • Making changes to a table definition causes a temporary copy of the table to be created. If you have a very large table, that could be a problem.
  • Hanging up on a long running query doesn't stop it. If one of your queries goes broken arrow, you have to use mysqladmin to shut it down.

Chu has this to say:

I work extensively with MySQL and there are times when I wish for stuff like referential integrity (available with InnoDB tables, but most hosts don?t provide it) so I don?t have to code constraint checks in the application. [...] And after reading [these MySQL gotchas], I?ll never trust what MySQL does to my data again (silently change my data would you, mysqld?

This is definitely stuff that you need to keep in mind when you're writing apps that use MySQL. While it's not always feasible, it's always smart to code your apps to be able to use multiple storage mechanisms. I don't completely follow with Chu's take, though, that MySQL can't be trusted. You just have to know what it is you're dealing with when you start using it. Some of the MySQL folks will tell you that MySQL is great for everything. Nothing is great for everything.
