[Deploying Sakai] Is anybody storing resource bodies in database?

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Jim,

A production environment I administer stores its content in a  
clustered Oracle database. We have had no production issues with this  
setup and the DB is offsite. It's been around for a while and was  
upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5.x. The conversion from XML to binary took  
place then so we are using BINARY_ENTITY serialization. There is no  
capacity to change this setup, for various reasons.


cheers,
Steve
