Re: Poker Hand XML
[ QUOTE ]
You'll never create a useful standard database as there are too many size/speed/usage tradeoffs for the "not in your wildest dreams" kind of tools. You really have to bind the database to a specific solution. [/ QUOTE ] at least it would be possible to come up with something far more advanced compared to the stuff currently in use. given the amount of information during a single hand, which is not THAT big, it should be possible to come up with something to cover at least 80%-90% of the typical questions you wanna ask (aka queries). and most of the tools currently in use have a far less then optimal DB schema. many don't even cover the whole hand and solely use the db to store pre-computed data. and i don't blame em, it is not easy because of the way a poker hand is structured (but not because of the amount of data) but storing a hand in an easy-to-query format and then do the calculations on-the-fly (server side) is far more powerful... |
