RE: Anyone with experience with MMOG and databases?

Leandro,

You keep saying that "Oracle is quite non-standard, I don't think it a good idea to develop a new system in Oracle."

Non-standard to what? Ansi?

And advising people on this list *not to* develop anything new in Oracle is quite bizarre. You do realize that this is an Oracle list, right?

Just curious about why you post here.

Tom

        An in-memory DBMS does that, it might only loose a few transactions if everything goes incredibly wrong.

        Now if you can't live with that... I'll stop here and let others, more experienced people speak. I will only warn you that Oracle is quite non-standard, I don't think it a good idea to develop a new system in Oracle. DB2 or PostgreSQL, for example, have better standards compliance AFAIK -- but please get a second opinion.
