Hi thanks for your replies. My main concern is performance. The data is not scraped beforehand in advance, its scraped on demand by my users. They submit a search query whch i then perform on several site, scrape their results and aggregate them for the user. My site is basically a meta search engine.
Storing results in a db pros: i get to use msql find conditions when the user wants to filter the results even more. cons: ill only be temporarily storng these results. As soon as the user does a new search there gone forever. I dont know the peformance hit of storing a 1000 results in a db consisting of several fields. Is a db still a wise choice? Using YAML: pros: not sure, but hey, i like using it! cons: no msql conditions so id have to create my own methods does the above change anything? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
