That's all very well for someone with your expertise, but for the average programmer the mantra has to be: o Do it simply (at first) o Do it right o Perhaps one day add complexity This reminds me of a msg on the DBI users list (which these days I can't unsubscribe from [posts are blocked but I still receive posts, and the help and (human?) owner addresses don't respond]): o Someone asked are a recommendation about storing files in a db o I replied that my policy is: data goes in databases, and files go in filesystems o Tim Bunce himself (author of DBI) politely pointed out that Oracle grabs a large block of your hard disk and installs it's own file system in it, so, it's efficient to store files in the db if it's Oracle. o Sure, but that's an Oracle-based optimisation, and the decision depends on actually knowing that that happens. Now that we know it, we can choose that alternative. But for beginners, my advice is always: Keep it simple... -- Ron Savage r...@savage.net.au http://savage.net.au/index.html ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
