Actually I'm just leaning towards pragmatic. Relying on the database, webserver, and app server to cache everything for me means I don't have to write and maintain code for the application-oriented caching (application-scope data or generated files). At least until there *is* a performance issue. Another gig of memory is cheaper than coding, testing, and maintenance. Though on the other hand, generating static pages from the db could be refactored into a reusable tool for doing same which would also be pragmatic :) > > Of course I like playing with 10-100GB MySQL data warehouses, so I'm > > biased :) > Say a 10M index and static files seems to me to be better than 100GB of > data. ;-) No argument. Especially if you have to back it up. Or try to restore it. Or move it. I mean, it's often easier to ship a harddrive FedEx than copy over a network... -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:196330 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
