Hi,
I am working on the G System project (BSD licenced) and we are going to
be (eventually) implementing a distributed database to hold data for the
game that (eventually) will be developed. People have (though I don't
think anyone has seriously investigated yet) suggested that we use a
grid with postgresql databases to serve the data. There will also be
processing of data, so it's not just a distributed database, I guess.
The idea is to have a virtual reality universe (GUniverse) that is able
to evolve. It is going to be along the lines of a MMORPG (or whatever),
but not only can you get new guns, you can also develop them using
resources, have hurricanes, whatever. Ideas are still fairly nebulous as
you can see!
My understanding is that (grid) machines will probably take over
management of certain parts of the universe, and so people (cities,
countries, etc) will be managed by different servers. When you go from
one to another you would be passed over. There would also be events that
might effect more than one person (city, country, etc) so would need to
be able to be spread, etc. There would also be things that applied to
the whole system. What exactly is handled by client and server is for
the future.
Does this sound like a job for globusTK? I read a bit about clusgres but
it is not OSS.
I realise that I don't have a clue but would like some ideas on how to
get one! Does this sound like something postgresql might be at home
with? Am I talking about a grid or nothing of the sort? I saw that
oracle 10g has "grid" capabilities but aside from being out of the
question, I don't think it would do what we wanted anyway.
Please excuse the waffley nature of this post.
Cheers
Antoine
ps. I think the devs are mainly C++ but as far as I could see java has a
head start in terms of grids and it wouldn't be out of the question.

I've planned an app where there's a lot of columns in a table and because of
that I'd like to split up the columns when presenting them in a datagrid.
I'll give you an example. It's always one year between every row

I am interested in finding out about Enterprise scale Postgres
installations and clustering, especially on Linux.
Essentially I would like to know the possibility that Postgres can store
the database data in a central location (ex: on a SAN fiber array) and
have a cluster of machines sharing processor/RAM/IO bandwidth to do the
application processing. Or perhaps there is another solution similar to
what www.emicnetworks.com have...

The core of the problem is that Postgres is filling up my hard drive
with swap files at the rate of around 3 to 7 GB per week (that's
Gigabytes not Megabytes) . At this rate it takes roughly two months to

Is there really any advantage to using DIV elements with float style
properies, vs. the old method of TABLE and TR and TD?
I'm finding that by using DIV, it still involves the same number of
elements in the HTML to get everything just right. When you consider
the class attribute on the DIV elements, there's not much size savings
anymore for using DIV.
There are other disadvantages to not using TABLE/TR/TD, such as the

I have binary objects (e.g. images or smth else) of any size which I

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
