[Sqlrelay-discussion] large-scale deployment?

[John K. <kl...@gm...>]

Hi,

I browsed through the list archive, but didn't see anything on this topic...

I'm considering SQL Relay for a particular need we have, for which it
seems amazingly, wonderfully suited.  However, the environment in
which I'm working is rather large...

We've got thousands of users spread all over the global, over an
intranet/WAN.  They run perl scripts that hit a database, where the
separation between the clients and the servers can be on the order of
thousands of miles (California to India, in some cases).  These
scripts get run, literally, 250,000+ times a day.  And at that, our
database can't handle the concurrency that results from the arbitrary,
ad-hoc execution of these scripts, from anywhere and everywhere.  We'd
like to employ some connection pooling and throttling, to even things
out.

(No, I didn't design the system. :-))

Anyway, before I get too excited about SQL Relay, can anyone share a
success story, where SQL Relay was used in an environment this large?

Thanks in advance...
