› Display the SQL Django ORM is Generating (link)

via Empty Thoughts - Home

Did you ever need to display the SQL that Django is generating, within your shell? I just might have an answer.

› Ebay don't use SQL joins

I've been reading about ebay's architecture over at highscalability.com and from their research they conclude that ebay do all their data "joining" on application servers rather than using the bottleneck that is a back end database.

The main reason stated for this is "app servers are cheap, databases are the bottleneck". This is a pretty extreme move, but I suppose ebay is a pretty big site, they apparently serve 26 billion sql queries per day, quite a feat.
