Launchpad deployment is done straight from Bazaar branches and is quite complex. == Why PostgreSQL? == PostgreSQL was chosen in 2004 because it supported most of the features we thought we would need; MySQL did not. The other contender was Oracle, and for a while we made sure we would be able to switch to Oracle if necessary but PostgreSQL has worked great. == How integrated is the database in the code? == Highly. We make use of PostgreSQL specific features, such as: * SQL language extensions * PL/pgSQL and Python stored procedures * Triggers * Functional indexes * Automatic load balancing over the replicas with Slony-I * Transactional DDL * tsearch2 full text search * Database permissions == What version of Python is required? == Currently, Python 2.4 but we're working hard on getting us on at least Python 2.5 if not Python 2.6. This isn't hard to do, it's just a lot of work, but it will happen in time for Karmic at the latest. == What version of Bazaar is required? == At least 1.16.1, although 1.17 is released now. You can get this for Jaunty from the [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive|Bazaar PPA]]. == Can I look at the code without downloading it all? == Yes, you can browse the [[http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/db-devel/files|source code]] on Launchpad. You can also use `bzr get lp:launchpad` to download the code without setting up a development environment. |
