MySQL at Sabre
MySQL at Sabre
04/14/2004 10:28 AMNotes from Michael Benzinger's "MySQL at Sabre" talk at the 2004 MySQL
Users Conference. Sabre had been the reservation system for American

sell, fulfill is the model they follow. Finding best fares is apparent
a very hard problem. Lots of interesting algorithms to find the best
paths and lowest costs. They price roughly 250 tickets per second.
