Hello everyone, I've got a question. I hope anyone can take the time to look at my problem.
I've started writing perl for use with CGI about a year ago. I'm average advanced with perl. After writing and writing a lot I stumbled upon a problem. This is it: I've got a text database in the form of |userid=1&name=Pharell&street=Bobstreet%204&postal_code=47A3921B|userid=2&name=Bob&street=Pharellstreet| (all values are btw hex encoded) etcetera. Now the problem is, it's getting too big! It works completely great with a relatively small amount of items, but if the db is big it takes about 4 or more seconds to open the db, get the stuff and get the hell out. Four seconds is a lifetime. I've already wrote a complete module which uses files like this and now it's finally kind of done (on the scripting side), I tried it out on and made a new db of the old (it's an artist community website) poetry files which are something of about 120 text files, I put them all into my db and the db is now 1.5mb big and after writing all the scripting stuff for it, it just goes too slow! Sorry for the above piece of text being completely stupid written. What do you guys think I should do? I'm so f*cking desperate. I need something simple, great, effective, and quick to implementate into my code. Something like the fastest and at the same time most simple db around. It really doesn't need to be anything fancy, just like a text db but then fast. Thanks, Pharell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
