It's only likely to be faster than anything else if there is only to
be a very few "update" processes, and if it is mostly going to get hit
with read-only queries.
It tends to crumble into deadlock if you have a lot of users doing
concurrent updates.
Furthermore, consider licensing carefully. According to the vendor,
if you are not licensing your application code under the GPL, then you
are expected to pay for their "commercial" licenses.
