RE: [PHP] DB-License usage

This depends entirely on the architecture of your php and the type of connections that your db supports. E.g. intelligent use of cursors and persistent connections will allow you to pull chunks of data in for each user. At that point you only have to allow for x number of concurrent users as they hit the page. So if your site runs 1000 concurrent users, you prob. will have only 10-25 concurrent database connections. You can also look at faster / cheaper databases than Sybase and Oracle: www.openlinksw.com/virtuoso Best regards, Andrew ---------------------------------------------------- Andrew Hill Director Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software http://www.openlinksw.com XML & E-Business Infrastructure Technology Provider > -----Original Message----- > From: Bjorn Andre Lie [mailto:Bjorn.Andre.Lie@LightWare.no] > Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2000 5:04 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] DB-License usage > > > > Hi ! > > Is the PHP engine using one connecion to the database for each user > accessing a page using a DB-engine of some kind (eg Sybase SQL-AnyWhere). > > If this is the case - a site with many visitors will need a big > DB-license > (expensive !!!!). > > > Any thoughts ? > > Regards, > Bjørn André Lie > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > >
