*** 108,110 **** --- 108,120 ---- Comment by Oliver Leu: Please post your shell scripts. Are you creating a process for every record you insert into the db? This would slow down the process of inserting records extremly. ---- + + ---- + + **Database size and performance on a CD** + + _Vis Naicker on 2007-05-104:_ + + I struggled to get good performance outta a **CD** with 200K files, it reads the blobs pretty well , but for the same recordset where I kept the data separate from the blob, it was extremely slow, like 1min+ until the cd was cached by windows during the query. By caching to the drive before querying OTOH, it was pretty good. + + It is quite embarrassing, at the clients end, where sometimes 1 database seems to hang the machine, while another takes 3 seconds or so. I think my solution will have to be is to merge to blob with the field data, there it is admirable - it performs as well as the HD/network stored db. Some hints I have used is to change the cache to 16K from the default 2k.
