We're strongly considering switching to Galaxy from a piece of home-built software that we're in the process of developing. So, I have a couple of newbie questions to see what people's experience is. How does Galaxy scale? Does anybody have experience with scaling to thousands of datasets, or working with datasets in the hundreds of megabytes? We have traditionally done most of our work using a MySQL backend. I haven't (yet) received the green light from our sysadmin to install Postgres, and I'm wondering if anybody has any experience running on MySQL. Is it possible? Are there pitfalls? Has anybody by any chance implemented support for condor as a job scheduler? I think that's it for now. Thanks, Michael
