该公司出100万美元,悬赏能突破cinematch电影推荐算法,或5万美元的年度进步奖

有人推理出是因为 choicestream(如今该公司用的程序)的授权费每年超过100万美元 :P

以下是几个有趣的技术讨论

Because MySQL is basically a file-system and not a true database, it is faster

Like MySQL and PostGres it's free. Except Oracle XE is crippled in that it will only allow databases up to 4GB, will only use 1GB of RAM, and will only use 1 processor (if you have more than one). If your application fits within those limits then it *might* be faster than MySQL, but probably only if you're using it in a transactional sense. MySQK with MyISAM tables should be very, very fast. Especially if you have a machine with specs that exceed the limitations placed on Oracle XE
