Hi all, We are currently using MySQL for our database driven website. Currently, we have about 100,000 users. In January, we will be getting 2 million new registered users on our website.
We're buying a $50,000 Sun box to run the database server on. We're deciding whether we should switch to Oracle. Can MySQL handle this kind of load? The president (who doesn't know much about databases) was thinking about buying Oracle, but from what I've heard, Oracle is actually slower than MySQL since it needs to check FOREIGN KEYs, TRIGGERs, ASSERTIONs, etc. Can someone provide some advice? Thanks. My main concern is whether that massive scale (2 million registered users, along with all the data and CPU load they generate) is supported by MySQL. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
