Isn't the creator of MySQL named Monty?

[davidlatwe]

Yeah, but I didn’t know that at the time I was naming the project. Just a coincidence.:)

NP, last time I read something from him was around 2000, when he postulated one should just solve referential integrity in your application.

Purely coincidental :-)

... back then, lots of projects were saying referential integrity was an operations problem. That was rubbish, and they knew it. Same for multimaster replication. Fortunately we're past that now. But I like MongoDB for its document model, not its service architecture (although it definitely gets the job done). This Monty is an interesting project, and I'm looking forward to future developments.

Its document model is vanilla BSON on disk.

[avinassh]

It possible to update the BSON without loading the entire document in the memory? I am curious how Mongo does updates.

[slver]

It’s a memory mapped file. If you update a bool or number value it’ll rewrite just that. If you update anything else it’ll often have to rewrite the entire document due to variable size.

Thanks for the kind words !
