A mixture of threads and processes that can be used to match processors, disk I/O, and network interfaces.

A very long time ago, there was once a feature called "Data Blades" which tanked a commercial database vendor. A badly behaving blade could bring down the entire database. Most anyone who has been working on databases for a few decades remembers this and makes a point of either not introducing these sorts of features or making use of processes over threads.

I have not looked at the code referenced in the mentioned project, but thus far I haven't seen a model that could craft a complete SQL parser on its own.

There are a number of problems, and design decisions, that a developer decides on when writing a database that I don't see any current models… just because you have the ingredients does not mean that the stew is edible.

Informix. Michael Stonebraker, to his credit, learned a lot along the way and revised his thinking about database technology and capability after believing that a single engine could be good at everything.

I have no idea what this is and a web search turned up Harbor Freight woodworking tools.

I think it's this: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/informix-servers/15.0.x?topic=co...

And what you found seems to be "Dado", not "Data".

[mulmen]

Yes, Kagi was sufficiently confused as to what "Data blades" are that it actually thought I was looking for replacement woodworking blades. "DataBlade" finds the IBM Informix product.

My first web search (data blades) turned up harbor freight woodworking tools.

Then I made a second web search: data blades database.

That turned up some ibm database software module technology which I assume is what's being discussed.

I performed both searches on Kagi and didn't see anything about IBM. I do see results for "DataBlade" and "Data blade database" but I didn't try those specific variations after my first two attempts returned nothing of interest. That's too much effort to decipher a HN post.

It would have been less effort than it took you to write this comment. Perhaps next time that you can’t be bothered, just ignore the comment and move on to another thread that meets your required spoonfeeding levels.

[mulmen]

Yeah you're absolutely correct. Too late to edit/delete.

[ikari_pl]

ignoring the part where you tell others how to live, I believe the effort estimates you used suggest you may struggle typing and project it on others.

Doing a few searches and reviewing their results is effort.

Google doesn't really say what went wrong if it's about Informix.

people complain when not spoonfed; however there seems to be no issues about spending effort to complain.
