Re: CVS as storage
What sort of documents are these? MS Word documents & text files. Will they be stored as text, or as binary? binary for MS Word documents. Are they exceptionally large? on an average there size will be less than 50KB. Will the number continue to increase rapidly after 50,000? yes. Also, how many documents will one person normally deal with? he will have access to current months & last months documents. mehul. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

What sort of documents are these? Will they be stored as text, or as binary? Are they exceptionally large? Will the number continue to increase rapidly after 50,000? Also, how many documents will one person normally deal with? During certain operations, CVS builds a copy of everything being checked out or updated in /tmp. If we're talking about 50K documents at 100K each, that's five gigabytes you need in /tmp per simultaneous user, and there are memory requirements also. So, one question is whether the server is big enough. There's also questions of bandwidth if these files are going to be changed frequently, since an update then could result in large amounts of information going around. CVS can handle large repositories, which is about the only answer I can make without knowing more. -- Now building a CVS reference site at http://www.thornleyware.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

I do not think this will affect CVS. If you have enough space (and enough processor) to handle so many files . You may want to use eatra tools based on what you want to do on these files. Cheers. Mahanetsh. these files will be frequently accessed & modified by multiple users. mehul. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
