Re: [Rdo-list] Ceilometer DB?
According to http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/install/dbreco.html, there are
many database backend choices, mysql included.
There is much discussion on the lists for the ceilometer schema. The MySQL implementation
is tested in the gate but shows some performance issues there even at small scale.
At CERN, we run with MongoDB (and have some scalability issues even then which are being
worked on with the community)

As SQLAlchemy is an Object Relational Mapper (ORM), it allows the
integration of many DBs.
I believe Eoghan may have some light to shed on this. I know he's told me in the past
why the above is the case, I just can't recall from past conversations :)
