We know where you live - review of YC's presentation

http://www.dmarket.co.uk/a/callcredit-launches-define

Unfortunately the review fails to mention the software wot I wrote can do selections on the the 49 million+ records in 10ths of a second

Well.... I read it, but it's a bit like a different language

Is that on your very own supercomputer or are you using the combined unused CPU cycle of everyone on the Latebay?

It can do sub second selections on 49 million+ on a standard laptop O0

I'm a Dba and Database developer so was quite interested in the technology used.

Do you use some sort of de-normalised table or are you using a NoSQL DB? I use SQL server at work and am sure I've never selected 49+ million records in sub second time.

A most interested rob!

Well I spent last Friday morning with Zoe from The Trading Floor - that beats Kate Winslet hands down!

It's a database system of my own design and implementation - it uses a modified, highly compressed, inverted index system stored as numerical offsets in bit streams under the hood - the database layer is written in C# but uses lots of multithreading and pointer arithmetic (unsafe mode in .Net)

Don't want to give away too many trade secrets - it has won awards O0

Jeez this thread is like a Heat/SQL Monthly mashup

I'd use Fortran or Cobalt :laugh2: (dont ask me what that means, I saw it on Star Wars) ;D

Looks like someone will want a roped off area at the next camp .

You're ol'skool with your custom DB. I don't know anyone these days who baked their own apart from people like Facebook and google who handle a bit of data.

Actually, I did mention it but can't be held responsible for what the editor chooses to publish!
