If only a basic review is required, migrate to Code Review if it is on-topic there.

@Phrancis Yes jcolebrand is quite the artist :) Sorry it took so long to answer, I was in two minds about it for quite a while.
The increase in the character limit of comments has led them to become as important as the questions and answers that spawn them. On several occasions (especially on meta) I've found reason to want to link to a comment directly. I'd imagine something as simple as making the date / time stamp an a...
Hey guys, I don't think this would be a good question, but I'm hoping someone can toss me an offhand answer. I'm not a DBA. I'm trying to google a concept that I think I remember being discussed once, but can't think of the vocabulary terms. Is there a database setup where one database is the one that takes all the incoming data and another database is the one that users query against. You can do some trickery when shuffling data between the two in order to speed up queries.
@ZachMierzejewski I'm not sure what a general term for that would be, other than maybe 'scale-out configuration.' It can work well when your read workload exceeds what a single node can handle, but doesn't help with writes much as all servers still have to process the writes. There's also sharding, the concept of splitting subsets of a database onto different servers.
Usually different RDBMS have different, more specific terms to describe these things.
