Hey Gang, Emile has asked me to take a stab at rewriting his description of SiteGroups. Of course I have questions which I'll post on our list. Is it accurate to say that increasing numbers of persistent connections to databases will eventually have a detrimental effect on database performance? If the answer is yes, then is it accurate to say that Midgard's use of one database is intended to preserve performance? If the answer is yes, then with the groups consent I'll procede with the following: The inherent nature of many persistent database connections eventually has a negative effect on performance. The Midgard strategy for preserving database perfomance is to use one database to manage all the elements and content for many websites. Of course this creates the challange of preventing the owner of a site from viewing or hyjacking the contents of Hosts that do not belong to them. Considering that Bill G. owns IJustLost$14billion.com and StillGotMoreThanYou.com, obviously he must have administrative privelages for those Hosts while it's imperative that he is denied read and write access to antitrust.com while useing the Midgard administration tools. SiteGroups prevents Bill from accessing information and elements which he doesn't own while allowing him to administrate one or all the sites which he has access to.
