I'm about to add about 15 additional fields to the add.cgi script. When somebody uses search.cgi, since the script searches the main database and it now has the 15 additional fields, would this make it slower?

If it will, like I think it will, can I create two different databases, one with the main information and one with the search information?

Any ideas?

The script will not search the fields unless you tell it to, so it shouldn't be any noticeable extra work.

Cheers,

Alex
