Hi, in terms of performance, is it cheaper to update the value of an existing node or to insert a node with that value?
I'm not sure if I should create empty nodes or nodes with a default-value in the first place and when users specify values these nodes will be updated. Or if I insert nodes with these values when users specify them in the web interface. Values are short texts like "yes" or "no". The value of the one node I have to update in any case is a longer text with some markup in it (for highlighting purposes of single tokens). UPDINDEX for the DB is set and I will have to optimize the index after each user interaction, because I need the fulltext index in the next interaction. So the options are actually these: - insert 6 nodes, replace value of 1 node, optimize - replace values of 7 nodes, optimize Thanks in advance and best regards Cerstin -- Dr. phil.
