Re: [web-devel] persistent and mysql

No work has gone on for the MySQL backend for a while, so yes, you will find github up to date. Any idea how RDS fared in the amazon meltdown last week? Anecdotally I heard it had problems also. It is suspected that RDS is built on top of EBS [1]. EBS appeared to be the main problem and seems to be forsaken by cloud architects now [2]. Recent events and previous experience seems to indicate that replication across availability zones without EBS is actually more durable.

AWS RDS is just very nice, otherwise i'd have no interest in mysql. is the most up to date mysql backend on github?

it doesn't compile. Perhaps a day's work to get it going. Postgresql and sqlite both use a GenericSql module that MySQL can also use. Either way, there are already example SQL backends. You are the first haskeller I have seen show interest in MySQL for a new project, which is the main reasons why that backend is bit-rotting.
