Hi. I was hoping for some advice. I recently took over an existing Drupal site for a nonprofit.
The client currently has a searchable database of a 115,000 records written in cold fusion in a separate database on a separate server. They would like me to bring it into their Drupal 6 site or at least onto the same server. I can do this in two ways: 1. As a custom module running off it's own db. 2. Or I can make it a content type and use Views for the interface. My preference is to just use CCK/Views for maximum flexibility -- but I question whether or not it's wise to add a 115k records to the node and other tables and what type of impact this might have on overall site performance. (Any other downsides?) Anyone have any advice/suggestions? If it was your project would you code it separately or use CCK/Views.
