So, would you be impressed with the 110 million record OLTP databases I worked with in the early 1990s? Or the multi-terabyte spatially enabled real-time stuff I do now?Originally posted by AndyGarbs View Post91k seems more realistic
1k posts in a day no wonder the database gnarlsed up

A thousand records a day, with a 10k max record length, is 1200 bits per second. Unless
you
can
remember
teletypes,
you
won't
really
appreciate
just
how
slow
that
is.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

And said Denny was banned isn't it open season on newbies?
