Links SQL Question
Hello,

I currently am using links 2.0. Lets say for instance I now have over 10,000 links. Is the upgrade to SQL do-able or easy. If not should SQL be purchased before hand if I estimate getting over 10,000 links

I have made extensive modifications to the basics of Links 2.0, and was able to install and get running LinkSQL in an evening.

If you know you will need the power of LinkSQL, there is a real advantage of starting with it now, running it in parallel to your system, until you are satisfied, then switch over.

That's what I'm doing, and it's giving me a chance to work out some things I didn't want to spend the time with on Links 2.0. I import my database daily, and that gives me a working backup as well...

If performance right now isn't that great, or you estimate that your directory will grow pretty quickly, then you may want to make the switch now.

Cheers,
