Welcome! 1: You'll have to be more specific than that. How many tables/records per table are you looking to store? Are you wanting to optimize it for querying or is it going to be an active database with heavy inserting/updating? 2: That depends on the hardware you run it on. Technically, yes, it can be done. Is it easy/cheap? No, but neither is anything else related to sites that size. 3: No. Cal http://www.calevans.com -----Original Message----- From: tmb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 8:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Will MySQL_Linux_Apache handle Yahoo level traffic & data?
