TheLostGuru Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I am pretty new to MySQL and PHP, but I have heard that sometimes databases and tables get overloaded, and malfunction. Is this true? And if so, what does it take to get to this condition? Are there ways to work around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per1os Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 This forum for example, is a good example of what it takes. It usually takes a solid stream of a good user base, like at least 10,000 unique hits a day, plus at least half of those hits inputting something into the database. Each day for a long time. It takes a bit to reach that point, not really anything to be concerned with unless someone who gets that much traffic + in a day asks you to code for them. But it does take a lot, there are functions out there and tricks you can do to "repair" tables. Never had to use them so I never have.
