If you have a small, read-only or read-mostly(WTF???) database where you can afford to lose updates, you have rocks in your head if you use a database! The proper structure was invented over 50 years ago and it's called an array. OK, let's forward the clock a few years and call it a stack. A database? You gotta be joking... > TimesTen is supposed to guarantee no loss of data under certain > configurations. I hate these open "certain configurations" statements.

Yaba-dahba-doo! Regular as clockwork: good old mirroring. No clue whatsoever...
