I have inherited a client with a flat file shopping cart. I have added a
MySQL database to record the orders, and am using DBI with Perl and PHP3 to
do the interaction with the MySQL database.
The site is a local theater that sells concert tickets. They have sold as
many as 4 tickets per second, which was way too much for the flat file
shopping cart. I'm going to implement a MySQL based cart, but want to make
sure I won't run into similar problems. I have found one order that didn't
make it into MySQL, which has me a bit worried.
I've already double check and added lots of "flock" statements in the Perl
code for the flat file database operations, and would like to know more
about the "file locking" needs, features, etc. of MySQL.
Thanks in advance,
Peter Janett
