Moving SQL to LightCloud

[karikrishni]

Hi All,

I am newbie to lightcloud. I have used quite a lot of db related
operations. Similarly I knew what is the key/value store and what is
it limitation.

As per my understanding, we may need sql as well as lightclould? So we
store the some meta data to db and store the remaining information
into the light-cloud?

Is my understanding correct? or some one can tell me how you use light-
cloud in your project where you need to query for data, sort data,
group data?

I really in need of light -weight key-value pair. After I have look
into memcachedb, I am trying lightcloud.

Any help is appreciated..

Hi karikrishni

LightCloud is not made to replace SQL (relational databases).

Please read the section "How LightCloud differs from memcached and MySQL?" on:
http://opensource.plurk.com/LightCloud/

To give you some ideas what to store:
- user information, such as if the user has uploaded a profile picture
- analytics, such as page views

You can do the same stuff in relational databases, but LightCloud
offers following things:
- dynamic extension. i.e. if you need to add a new user option, then
you don't need to run a database migration first
- scalability, persistence and performance on key-value data
