Quote from http://ayende.com/blog/4508/comments-on-ravendb-licensing:

“All the legalities aside, my intent is that if you use RavenDB commercially, you pay for a commercial license.”

@Apostel I’m going to look after this properly, but I truly believe that you don’t have to pay for a RavenDB license when used in combination with Actya. RavenDB’s license is just like MySQL’s and I don’t think that WordPress or Drupal users pay for MySQL.

I think that the RavenDb license will be a problem for the CMS.

If you want to target the casual, normal website the 25$ per month or 600$ is too much a cost(as compared to the most CMS systems – free). The value for those websites maybe relatively low too – small websites doesn’t need much customization.

Maybe if you target bigger websites and you manage to make the CMS so it has some of the great features of bigger CMS but really doesn’t get in the way of custom development, then maybe you’ll get a nice thing. Not a small task ahead of you thought.

Usage of RavenDB is free for OS projects, see http://ravendb.net/licensing. As far as I understand this means that you can use RavenDB in combination with Actya for free but as soon as you’re going to do other things with that same Raven server in a production environment, you have to pay a license.

(there is no user feedback on the mentioned page, so here it goes)

Altough I like RavenDB, it is a licensed commercial package. Are there options to integrate other more free solutions? Or since your CMS is free, are you allowed to use the RavenDB also for free?

@Jan
The Pager Helper itself doesn’t do anything with data. You just tell it how large your pagesize is, which page we’re on and the total number of items.

The PagedList that comes with the Pager can be created from an IQueryable (returned from NHibernate or EF) which means that actual paging is executed via the database query.
Alternatively, you could even use a PagedList, set its properties and perform all the paging logic yourself.

Hello Martijn:

I am not sure this pager addresses the real problem. Say, you have 5 million records. Your search returns 2 million. Now you wish to display the first 20 records and then the next 20 and so on.

The problem I see is that it retrieves the full 2 million records and then ‘takes’ 20 and throws away the rest.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Jan
