heap tables for chat scripts
Posted: Thu Dec 26, 2002 7:36 am
Hi
I've ventured into the possibility o creating my own chat room for my website rather than using available scripts.
Having looked at how chat rooms are currently implemented in PHP and MYSQL, i've seen a good use of HEAP TABLES.
I understand these tables occupy memory onthe server, and wsas wondering wether it is safe to use them? do most hosts allow heap tables to be used?
thanks
