Placid

Placid is a software solution that was developed to replace CMU's ACID system. The creator, Phil, found that ACID was too large, too slow, and had too many requirements for his needs. As a result, most of the original code was rewritten using Python and some additional features were added as well.

To run Placid, users will need the Apache HTTP server, MySQL version 4.0 or better, and Python 2.2 or better. Additionally, users will require the correct MySQLdb module to interface with their Python and MySQL.

With the latest release of Placid, users will benefit from a variety of bugfixes and feature enhancements based on feedback from other users. This release is also the last one before a major rewrite, which promises to bring even more exciting features and optimizations to the software.

Overall, Placid is a great option for those who are looking for a more efficient, reliable, and streamlined system than what is typically offered by other solutions. With its fast performance and user-friendly design, it is definitely worth considering for those who wish to optimize their database management processes.
