We are talking about hundred thousands or even millions records in tables. We need a powerful database engine: PostgreSql or Firebird prefered.
200 connections peer second peer processor equals 200*3600*12 (8 64 000) equals lots of power available to serve your datas. For more power, the best is to handle big redondant clusters running each one an applications server+an ACID compliant RDBMS, all binded together trough a replicator management system - the new PostgreSQL one seems interesting). From my own experience, the power is no more the main difficulty or cost. To be realy suitable to the customers needs, a networked app have to be well designed and easy to improve and maintain, year after year (the time of "definitive apps" has gone ;-)
Don't missunderstand : Revolution is full suitable to build rock solid TCP/IP applications servers, not to replace the ACID RDBMS we are aware with. Rev is not a database server engine (nor Java is) and, even if it could be ways to program it in this way, why would we have to reinvent the wheel when PostgreSQL, FireBird, SAPDB or, even Sybase ASE ,are there to handle this part of the job for us.
Will give a chance to Revolution :-)
I hope you will find the power you need in speeding it !
