<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Suarez, post: 4112205, member: 99239&quot;]I never liked OCRE&#039;s design principle thinking it ill-suited for coins (for many reasons) but now I see that the ANS&#039;s database has been retrofitted using the same bones as OCRE.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that people, for the most part, tend to use whatever they start out with because they learn the system and get comfortable with it. Knowing this I&#039;m expecting that OCRE and the ANS must have its hardcore fans. My question is, how is OCRE&#039;s setup in particular an advantage to other databases? There are technical reasons why how the data is structured make it modern and easier for machines to digest but I&#039;m hoping to hear from the regular user&#039;s point of view. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the interest of full disclosure I&#039;m totally biased having designed and maintained three different coin sites. My very first internet exposure was to Wildwinds and to me it just seemed natural that a database should be indexed in order to be truly useful. But that&#039;s maybe my weakness. It got so ingrained in me that any other way seems wrong. It could be that OCRE&#039;s system is ultimately better for organizing large amounts of data and that someday all new major projects will adopt this system.</p><p><br /></p><p>A broader question: what do you like and dislike about the online tools you use most frequently? What innovation would you like to see?</p><p><br /></p><p>Rasiel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
