RE: Kdb database engine

Hi Guys,

You are both right. In the early 90's I worked for Telstra directly as a developer (on an Informix application). I later went back there working for HP and then IBM as a Unix performance specialist. I also applied for an Oracle DBA job there once, but was not successful :-(. I did not hear of KDE-DB (KDB) in that environment, but it does not surprise me that they are using it. Telstra employs about 10% of Australia's IT workforce and when lamenting the lack of standards there we often used to say "Telstra has at least one of everything"!

Nope, I believe that Mr. Adams used to to work for HP, not for Telstra. Another participant of
this group (Leng Kaing) used to work for Telstra. Leng is also an excellent DBA, with vast
experience.

M'Laddy of Gogala,

Yes, good catch, the acronym can refer to some kernel debuggers, too.

In this case, "Kdb" is the moniker for a superfast no-frills in-memory db. (Praps our own Mr. Adams knows something of this product, since it has sold to Telstra, where I *think* he used to work.)

Seems like a small company with a very higly trained staff and nifty little product.
