Joe,
check http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/lexicon it is a
lexicon for those interested in Hinduism. It not only performs
searches but it has cross-references between words. For example
search for "karma" or "vedas", if you want to see a quick query just
search for "a" this will give all the words starting with "a". try
clicking on the related words and see some AJAX routines fetching
data and displaying it to you. All this web app is Revolution
powered. The database stack has more than 3.000 records, one by card.
You can see it is pretty fast, the delay is usually the network
latency not the search.
I like using revolution as a database, I just move to SQL database
servers when I need complex queries or concurrent access (or to store
millions records, but I never needed that).
cheers

Hi all,
Guess I'm going to start up another great controversy. Again I'm
hearkening back to my HC days. When it was first released, one of
its main claims to fame was the question as to whether or not it
WAS a database. Certainly, it had all of the attributes and
features of one. Even with SE30s as a machine; and, with some 2,000
records/cards, HC performed acceptably fast considering the
simplicity of its implementation and subsequent use. So, my
question is: has RR done such a poor job at duplicating this
functionality that we cannot get along without specialty DBs in
MOST instances? If it has, then at what record level must we
consider using these other DBs? I realize that there ARE many
applications that will need a greater capacity, but not the average
one created by the "average" Rev user. I'd sure like to know.
TIA,
Joe Wilkins
