Re: Future of McKoi?

The software I worked on that had a McKoi database (implemented prior to my arrival) had many problems. Its data got corrupted often; I am surprised to hear you say you've never even had a hiccup.

I am interested in the Mckoi database because I think it has been the best one I've seen among all the pure Java databases I've evaluated. I have tried pointbase, h2, hsqldb and cloudscape/derby, in the context of a fairly large CRM app I have been involved with. Each had its own set of issues. Pointbase wasn't as fast, nor was cloudscape or h2 (at the time I tested them -- a few years ago). hsqldb was actually quite a bit faster, but I seem to recall that it wasn't supporting transactions properly. I even tried sqlite, but there were some issues with blob support in its JDBC driver.

By contrast, I've had Mckoi deployed in production for quite a while now, and never had a hiccup -- no data corruptions, no management headaches, nothing. It just works. So it be a real pity to see this project die.

do not bother with mckoi. Check out Derby instead.
