Re: OT: Changes to www.softimage.com - Alienbrain experience OTish

[André Adam <a_adam(at)49games.de>]

We're on Alienbrain, an older version though.

In general, there are two different approaches to data management 
systems, one designed for source code, usually with abilities to do difs 
and merges (Perforce, SVN, etc) and another one for dealing with huge 
amounts of binaray data (Alienbrain and the likes). There is a great 
difference in database design to these two approaches, with the source 
code management systems usually having problems dealing with huge 
amounts of binary data.

Regarding Alienbrain, there is nothing bad I can say about it, it 
definately serves its puprose over here, keeping all of our project 
data. Source codes go via SVN, though.
