Hi All -

I've been trying to figure out a good way of handling something, and just
can't quite seem to get a grip on the best approach.  Here's what I've got:

Two database tables - Table 1 has a BILLING_CODE and an ACCOUNT_CODE.  Table
2 has the ACCOUNT_CODE and other account information (name, address, etc.)
The tables are linked by ACCOUNT_CODE.

        Table 1:
Table 2:
                BILLING_CODE            ACCOUNT_CODE
ACCOUNT_CODE    NAME    ADDRESS ...
                1234                    ABC1
ABC1                    blah    blah
                1234                    ABC2
ABC2                    blah    blah
                1234                    ABC3
ABC3                    blah    blah
                5678                    DEF1
DEF1                    blah    blah
                5678                    DEF2
DEF2                    blah    blah

I need to be able to rapidly access the information in table 2 either
through the BILLING_CODE, or directly through the ACCOUNT_CODE.  I can
create a POJO containing the BILLING_CODE and a List object to hold a second
POJO for the table 2 info.  Or I can use a Map.  Either way doesn't give me
a good method of accessing the table 2 information based on ACCOUNT_CODE.

Two other bits of info - the combined number of records exceeds 300,000, so
I have a scaling issue. Second, I'd like to load everything in a plug-in
using iBatis dbLayer and store it in application scope (to eliminate db
calls as the webapp is used.)

That is ridiculous!!
Why stop there, why not just write your own SQL engine in Java?
Say 300,000 records times 500 bytes for each record in memory... I can't begin to ...


You can easily get sub second response scelable, that is a very, very, small database for a SQL engine. Post the the SQL command that is giving you performance problem. What DB are you using?
iBatis is nicely going to cache duplicate requests and flush, that's all, its a DAO.

Does anyone have any experience in handling something like this? How did you do it?

Thanks...
