working with big data

Post by Vegan »

I am aware that a CMS system could potentially have over 1,000, maybe 10,000 posts, even possibly 100,000 posts. I know that MySQL and a 64-bit system can handle the load even with 10 million posts.

WordPress is more or less a web site with a fetch the page wanted from a database. This is a very simple model.

I was wondering if there was more I can do with WP to make the database more useful generally?

Such as a pie chart with the various categories etc, but how much more can I squeeze of the database?

I don't think Wordpress limits you from doing anything that you can do with a database, PHP, plus HTML/Javascript. Your imagination is the only limit.

I agree that with some work, the sky is the limit

I have looked over the database in linux and it looks like i can share tables easily
