DB size
Hi

I trying to get an idea how DBMAN functions as the DB grows. What is your DB size and how is performance...?

Thanks in advance

They say that 1mb (one megabyte) is about as big as the "flat file" version can get. I've noticed that as the db approaches that size that data starts to get corrupt.

I have on with 450 fields, but it only holds 50 to 100 records at a time. I have some that hold a whole bunch of records but don't have very many fields.

There are some tricks you can use to keep your db small (such as the external text mod, or relational mod), but if you're looking at a whole lot of data then you may want to opt for the SQL version of dbman.
