Marshall Are we trying to max out the posts and crash the software here? They'll absolutely NEVER let it go much beyond 1500 posts as I indicated in my first post in this thread. The database is based on 1930's computer code and cannot be maintained reliably beyond that number. Only 1000 more posts to go.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

What kind of database it that??  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-19-2009 09:38 AM                        You'd think the limit would be 2048 or some power of 2 (maybe minus a small quantity). It feels like trying to get to screen 256 on Pac Man.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-19-2009 10:25 AM                        It's not a limit, just a guideline.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-19-2009 10:35 AM                        Having worked heavily with databases in the late 80s and early 90s, I would guess that the guideline is because of what happens to either the retrieval time or the update time once the number of records involved becomes so large? Without indexing, updates are fast but queries would become slower and slower as things get big. With indexing, retrievals are fast but updates get slower and slower as things get big.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.
