Thank You! Job well done

**tniem** · July 19, 2002, 10:19

Yeah, nice work Markos! Of course next week's site performance report should not look so flawless.

**MattyBoy** · July 21, 2002, 19:31

So, Mark, why did you choose MySql and how does it compare to any other db's you have used? I had someone looking for advice on how bullet-proof it is and I wouldn't have thought it was good enough to support apolyton, but it seems I'm wrong.

**MarkG** · July 21, 2002, 19:57

the main reason for using mysql is that our forum software, vBulletin, is using it.

when it comes to sizes, mysql has been proven to hold much more than our current average traffic, being succesfull even when we had 800-900 concurrent users back in november

beyond that, the php/mysql combination has many advantages, especially in terms of availiable ready sollutions, as well as tons of code examples and helpfull communities ready to assist a developer...

Sorry to be dumb, but what is php?

**aaglo** · July 22, 2002, 03:52

Performance during the last couple of hours wasn't so good (at least for me)

**MarkG** · July 22, 2002, 04:13

mattyboy: see www.php.net

aaglo: we were down for 90-100 minutes

**aaglo** · July 22, 2002, 04:22

MarkG: ALL OF YOU were 'down' for 90-100 minutes?

.... that's a long time

...okay

**MarkG** · July 22, 2002, 04:29

we = all the Apolyton AI routines

The site going down coincided with the entrance of about the 12th poster to the chatroom. I thought I should draw this to your attention - it may be coincidence, but I guess it's a good idea to be aware of these things anyway.

**MarkG** · July 22, 2002, 04:38

i'm not entirely sure there is a connection

the chat script is programmed to not do anything if the server load is over a certain number and the server has had no problem(e.g. it survived) with triple that load
