In my experience, choosing a database based upon your needs is the best way to go. Hardware never scales beyond being too expensive, because once you scale beyond a single box worth of queries, you either choose to limit the queries or start to scale to a cluster. It's pretty much as simple as that. -- Thanks, Dan Lund "This day we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny, and usher in a future brighter than anything we can imagine." --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
