Hi!,
Do you have other ideas about how do it?
I thinking do :
1. Save the report in a
YYYYMMDD/<name-of-report>/<name-of-report.num-page> tree directory
structure.
2. Save in the database the information about the report, and the path
to the page directory.
3. When the user request a report I go to the path and open the
name-of-report.00000 (the first page).
Other information :
. There are 2.002 reports montly (so under YYYYMMDD directory I have
2002 entries).
. There are 210.000 pages montly.
. The bigest report have 45.217 pages (so under <name-of-report>
directory I have in the worse case 45.217 entries).
. The smallest report have 16 pages (so under <name-of-report> directory
I have in the best case 16 entries).
. The average pages report is 7213 by day.
I have the next dudes (I hope you can help me, or tell me where I can
go) :
. The Linux filesystem support that number of files without degrading
the performance?
. Any knows if exist something similar, or how i can search this under
what concept.....
. Any other ideas to implement this?
. For the moment i forgot the idea about zip the files.... I talk with
my boss and get more disk... :-)
pd.: sorry about the size of the mail.... i try to be more cleary possible.
Regards,
Patricio.
