Second, I fixed my problem to use files, but I just had a general question: Is it really scalable to use MySQL on every page hit as compared to writing to files? Is it true that it only has a certain number of connections it can open at a time (20-30?), and the contention is larger? [>>] Yes mysql is much faster than file writing. And you can open multiple connection to it.
