DBman vs DBmanSQL
What is the difference between DBman & DBman SQL in terms of amount of db entries? Also the difference between the two as far as the number of registered users they are able to handle?

Hi,

DBMan SQL will scale a lot better then DBMan for the simple fact that the information is stored in an SQL database rather then text files. We've had DBMan SQL installations with 500,000 records, and performance was still very fast. As for the number of users allowed, DBMan SQL can handle very large user bases as the information is all in SQL and indexed.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi,

No, DBMan is completely differnt then DBMan SQL 2. We still do offer DBMan SQL 1, which is identical to the flat file version (same configuration, same html file, etc). Many of the mods would work with version 1.

Cheers,

Alex

As a followup to this question...

We have a "heavily hacked" version of dbMan (flat file) that would need to goto SQL soon. Is there any "major" improvements between v1 and v2 of the SQL software? (eg. is it worth reprogramming 2,000 - 4,000 lines of code for the difference between the two.)
