Sending information between databases
by Ashley T. Howes 13 Jul '01

13 Jul '01

(This isn't a pure linux question, but I hope you can help) What is a good system for sending information between databases, with minimal human interaction? Situation is that someone has a database in one location, another person has another copy. The list of tables/fields between the 2 databases is not exactly the same, but have several tables in common. The two databases could be synched with a lot of human work, but is there a method to do this automatically - perhaps sending XML between the two? Anyone got experience in doing this sort of stuff?

I can't remember which one, but I think it was Yahoo!. Basically, their advertising sales team was going out and trying to sell ad space on their web mail with the demographics and behavioural data on their users. Of course, this all came from the adverts, not from the actual emails, but the user tracking in there was active and it did tell them more than you really want known about you. It seems to me that it's only a small step to doing analysis on the actual emails to see how to market more effectively at you, and in some legislations that would be perfectly legal.

Compare and contrast against Bascule. Oh, and you should probably watch out for a drive-by incident with a brown Sierra any time now. > You can usually tell how long someone has been online by weather or > not they have any numbers after ther name in an email address from > places like hotmail and yahoo mail. I say that you can tell how long someone has been online by whether they know enough to avoid these dumb american web mails and the amount of personal privacy lost by using them. > Few people use the name akula, and I found out why, put two K's in it > and it becomes serb for Twat!
