texte = Hi Everyone, I'm developing an advertising system that will record click throughs and page views, and I need to get some feedback on the limitations of databases with WebDNA. I'm currently running webdna 5 and Webstar on OSX. I'm not too worried about a table recording click throughs since it should stay relatively small. But if I set up an append context to record a page view every time a page gets accessed/refreshed, will I get into performance issues with the page loading or with people accessing other webDNA pages? We get over a million hits a month, so I'm looking at at least a million records a month in a page views table. Will I have to set up some scripts to flush out the page views table regularly or can I just let it continue to get bigger and bigger? Or should I not try to use webDNA at all for this, and instead find a way to use the server log file? Thanks in advance to anyone who has time to respond.
