database !!!! whats considered 'usual' size for a database full of assorted info?? 50mb...100mb .... 500mb ...a few gig?? anyone care to share their disc space for their database? i know it depends what your databasing...lets assume there's no images, just trying to figure how much space to allocate would say 100mb hold a lot of info?
MySQL DB w/ 4,000 products and customer info/order hsitory (no images) 86 table(s) - 19.7 MB ------------------ Images: 2 sets (big and small) 200mb
Got a 12Mb Access db with 20,000 items of approx 10 fields in it... Really gotta look into going PHP and MySQL sometime very soon...
Either you have a sick mind, or I have a sick mind My DB is about 3 or 4MB for my forums.. and another is a good 20MB for file storage. Josh
afactory >nice site BTW.... how many articles have you got in the DB ? (although you would have to PAY ME to read that much ) thanks for sharing guys..... size isn't everything, but you are the SMALLEST ..... teehee.
rotflmao....i was just reading some of the stuff on there....and the bloody page refreshed on me !!!! i think you should change that from 300 seconds...for slow readers like me did i end up on the same page??..cos i cant remember what i was reading
4,000 products = 19.7 MB 20,000 items = 12Mb Access db 40,000 articles = db: 500M 57000 Posts = 64MB Disk usage unknown = MySql - 2mb 3 or 4MB for my forums thanxs so much, i am trying to set up 25 databases each comes in at 100mb (2.5 gig total) and i am trying to find out how much i could get on each one. looks 'ballpark' in the region of 50-80K small items, which will do nicely.
