Somewhere between yesterday and today, I came across OrientDB.
“can store up to 150,000 records per second on common hardware”
Features:
REST, Java APIs…
Document, Object, SQL, Key-Value + other db form supports… Basically a document storage and uses a grid store for the relationships. Everything (SQL, Key-Value, Object, etc) is built on top of those two things.
Anyway, installation is pretty easy.
1. Download the zip file.
2. Unzip.
3. bin/startup.bat (for windows)
4. Goto http://localhost:2480/ for the admin UI. (unless that port was originally taken)
The admin UI is decent, but seems broken for me when trying to create new class / property / schema / other misc things. Well, it gives me a can’t access the database error, which means I probably missed a step somewhere.
Haven’t really tested beyond this. Will wait until it matures a little more. As it seems to need it. I could never get their live web demo to work.
Can’t wait to ditch MySQL… Not that I don’t mind RDMS, but it’s just so much overkill for today’s storage needs (where space is cheaper then cpu cycles)
