Hello,

I have a large number of fields that I want to define in links.def

Is 50 or 75 fields to much for the program to handle?

it only means you can't handle as many links..

when i did the geturl.cgi it worked until 200,000+ links cause there were only 4 fields

URL|Title|Description|Last Modified

and the max length of title was 50.. max of desciprtion was 150.. so it was able to store alot.. then when it got so high.. it pretty much died.. it could no longer finish reading the database.. so it never modified the database but it kept appending to it..

you might want to weed out some of the things that you don't really need..

or you can put all the same option fields into another database.. like option.db

and then build up hashes.. but it takes more memory..

I don't understand....what options?

Can you elaborate.

like all the "yes" or "no" fields..

you can easily put it into a hash by doing something like:


nevermind. don't do it.. that's practically the same thing as using multiple databases..

Thats what I thought. So I can use Links 2.0 for about 200,000 links with 50 fields?

Or better yet..how big can my database be before Links 2.0 can't process it any more and I need to upgrade?

Jerry, can you PLEASE help me out to set up multiple databases?

i'm not interested in going through all THAT again

i have to get it to be bugfree on links sql.. which shouldn't be as hard. just specify the db in the category database..
