jaymc Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 If you have a large table with 50,000+ rows and you want to offer a script that will output the number of members tnhat match a criteria, for instance, last actibity to generate a whosonline.. is it better to have a cron job for instance query the main members table, pull out the matches which will usually be 600, and put them in a seperate table? Or will it be fine to query the the larger database for the info when ever a member requests.. Lets say its requested twice a minute.. Is it worth the hastle?
