not showing 100,000 threads? I assumed that was a given... My perception was that the OP was worried about processing power; for example, on my VPS there is (among others) a single MySQL db that is over 280 megs, with 183 tables and over 2 million records and it runs without any problems, of note there is a single table that has 1,640,537 records and it doesn't affect the performance of the site or the server -- it's all about the quality of your query that matters - not to mention indexes, and decent maintenance.
You will never be loading all of the data rows at any one time, it just won't happen. I don't see how loading 1 row with 1k to 4k of data is worse than loading potentially 10,000 records and processing them all. Every developer knows, or should know, that retrieving the data from the disk takes longer than most computational processes. so, you (the OP) wants the best performance/processing intensity resolution with long term storage, the answer is still a db, just the logic and formatting of the data is what you need to determine. i recommend a serialized list of threads read and the date they were read -- no need to store threads that they haven't read yet. just my 2 cents On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 12:17 AM, brian <bally.z...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 11:41 PM, Jon Bennett <jmbenn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > This shouldn't incur a massive DB hit, as even if you have 100,000 > > threads, you won't display 100,000 on one page! > > Yes.
