Eh, What's Up, Doc?

[gotwf]

During some discussion as of late I realized that it has been quite some while since I deployed/mucked about with Apache Tomcat. So I have been perusing the docs this morning. Just because.

What do ye’ be up to, eh?

[phenomlab]

@gotwf I haven’t used Tomcat for years !! I’m busy currently writing narratives and controls for a new security framework we are going to be using at work. Tough to focus on when you have so much other stuff to do. So far, I have over 60 controls and that list is going to be rapidly expanding

[gotwf]

@phenomlab Always an interesting… and exhausting… topic…

I guess I am kinda’, sorta’ also playing around with mongo cluster and postgresql as of late.

[phenomlab]

@gotwf Definitely.

[gotwf]

Mongo cluster is on the back burner. Been trawling through the latest and greatest postgres docs. Soon I shall begin mucking around with a postgres backed nodebb. Last I did this the performance was a distant second to mongo. So distant that I did not spend much time investigating further, nor jotting down notes, etc. Since then a user on community claims postgres to be significantly faster than mongodb. Trolling? I kept hounding them for data… Hmm…

Anywho… this time I want to take a bit more thorough gander…

Really interested to gain insights around your experiences with this. As much as love NodeBB, I’m not particularly fond of MongoDB owing to the general lack of decent web based editors etc.

Not quite sure I follow you there… you want to edit the db via some web based tool?

Yes, like you can do with MySQL and PHPMyAdmin

[gotwf]

@phenomlab Well, page based compared to relational and I do not think it lends itself well to such. Since it is all json and you code javascript, I would presume you’d be fairly adept at pulling out the desired bits and bobs? And therein is a big win for relational: ANSI Standard query language: I don’t have want to learn javascript.

[phenomlab]

@gotwf yeah, good points. I’d consider myself proficient in JS so for me it’s more of a learning curve coming from MySQL (and hence phpMyAdmin).
