We are extending our accounting tool from the state of "save inbound
and outbound sum traffic per IP per day in database" (which worked fine for
accounting purposes) to "store each flow in database to do drill down
statistics". As not beeing a major carrier, we have around 2 Gigs of
database space (with just one index) for incoming and outgoing traffic
each, with a target of holding at least 90 days of data.
After testing with PostgreSQL (which proved unacceptable mass
insertion times even with all the tipps moving around on the
internet), we were going back to mySQL, testing the new 5.1beta
release with partition support (each day a partition, so we have only
2 GB of data to search when searching within a given day), and I must
admit I didn't expect that it works like a charme for the price. Yeah,
maybe with a better database it works even better, but I didn't get
the budget for this... ;-)
