Hi, I'm planning for a project for schools. As you might imagine there are mainly two groups of users - Students and Teachers.
I'm at the stage of designing the database tables and was wondering if having separate tables for students and teachers might yield better performance than having a single table with a column indicating the user as a student/teacher. I'm thinking that having separate tables might improve concurrency when many students and teachers are using the site at once (think read/ write locks) since they are using different tables. Granted, I'm not writing the app for millions of users, but if it helps to improve the performance, it'll translate to better user experience. And I guess there are others out there who are curious about it as well. Thanks. P.S. Kudos to the Cake team for coming up with RC1 of 1.2. Yet another great release. Thanks to all who made this possible! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
