Database backends for Arc-based web apps?
2 points by dpkendal 5198 days ago | 1 comment
I'm interested to know what sort of database systems people are building Arc web apps with. Is news.arc typical in its use of flat-files? Is there a way to get text-searching at an acceptable speed using this method?

I'm a fan of CouchDB, which has an HTTP/JSON interface and so is easy to interface from any languages supporting those technologies. (I'm perfectly happy running `(tostring (system "curl -s http://db.example.com:5984/db/"))` etc. to make accesses until there's a more solid client socket library.)

What about other alternatives? Is anybody using a SQL database in Arc?
