Michael,
Ten million records! I wish I could get stock in your company :-)

Anyway, anything but a finely tuned "Enterprise" database would probably
choke if your going to be getting lots of simultaneous hits. You might want
to consider using one that can run on the same server like SQL Server that
way you can use Named Pipes in your DSN as apposed to TCP Sockets. It really
depends on the number of hits you plan to get.

Besides if you use a major database you can benefit from the many
DBI/ODBC/ADO modules out there.
Kenneth.

Subject: How to maintain a huge user infomation database?


Hi,all;

I am coding for a login system, with some common functions like new,
delete, change, check..., maybe the maximum of user will be 10,000,000.
Just an assumption.

In such a situation, which is the right way to achieve this?
use a text file or a real database?
I don't know how to do, many samples I found use
text file as their database. But I don't know if it is well enough to
store 10,000,000 records.

Is there any sample code about this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards;
Michael
