 === Database ===
-The databases contain the following:
+==== Description ====
-* Structured sync data (bookmarks, tabs, history)
+Initially the databases will mainly contain the following:
-* Account information (credentials, bulk keys)
-One Web Server / Database combo handles a certain amount of users.
+* Bookmarks
+* History Items
+* Tabs
-Data is stored unencrypted in the database.
+We will normalize or extend the data that we take from sync as much as needed so that it is possible to run queries on the data.
-There is currently no preference for any specific type of database. MySQL, Drizzle (is the Shizzle) or anything that allows queries and joins will be fine.
+All data is stored unencrypted in the database.
+==== Software Requirements ====
+There is currently no preference for any specific type of database. MySQL, Drizzle, PostgreSQL or anything that allows queries and joins will be fine.
+==== Uptime ====
 Data on this server is a *copy* of what already exists in the Sync Service. I would therefore say that there is a much lower requirement to keep this running. In case of problems we can always sync the data again. This will be a relatively expensive operation but it should be pretty fast.
 (Except for the user's credentils and key. Maybe those need to move to a secondary system?)
