Database Type

[RobertP]

hello everyone, i have a small concern about my current design. i am trying to keep my page loads under 0.01. i am using a file to store lots of semi-static data. the data updates when ever i tell it to. it is a simple cms engine. so the page data is what i am trying to explain. it is either this format...

 

pages.php

<?php exit; ?>
#title,content,access,etc..
Home,welcome to my site,-1,etc...
etc...
..

 

or use mysql.

 

please post your opinions, and if you need more information on my current design just ask.

If you use MySQL with query caching turned on, you'll store the results of this query in memory and the access time will be very fast.

any suggested engines?

any documentation?

 

 

..normally i just create my own engines ... but in the end it comes down to flatfile :/

[ManiacDan]

You create your own engines?  What do you mean?

 

For a relatively "flat" setup like this you should use MyISAM.  You could also serialize this into an array and stick it in memcache or APC so it's constantly in memory.
