What makes you think so? A good DB should be able to handle this with
minimal performance impact.
It's called performance and stress tests.
Also, since we are storing the data of direct competitors (our
customers are in the same market segment in our already small
country)
we found that during presales the question about keeping data
separate
always arose.
And you just need to tell your customers that you do so. How you do
it
is none of their business.
Once you start working with the budgets and contacts they work with,
it becomes their business, or it's no business for us. I'm guessing
you don't work with Microsoft SQL Server for fun either.
Again, a good test suite could and should avoid one
customer seeing another one's data, just like Blinksale does it, but
prospects might not see it that way so easily.
Are you saying you don't have a good test suite, then?
As insulting as I find your question, I think we're pretty well
covered, thank you.
