It is a single proces engine and doesn't use vast amounts of system resources as other engines can. It supports client server operations over TCP/IP networks and provides quite reasonable performance. As an example, on a clunky old 25mhz 386 running Linux (one of the supported platforms) a sustained rate of 67 inserts per second was achieved during the insertion of 100,000 table entries. discussion: msql-list-request@Bond.edu.au ports: Supported under Linux, SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix, FreeBSD 2 Known to work under NeXT, Irix, HP-UX, OSF/1, Sequent, SVR4.2, SCO, AIX restrictions: ? author: David Hughes <Bambi@Bond.edu.au> how to get: ftp pub/Minerva/msql/ from Bond.edu.au updated: 1995/01/18 The rest of this, I think, is available on idiom.com.
