Hello I was install and use sphinx and i set a cron after 15 minutes to get the new tpics and so on... I want to ask if the sphinx is reading again the database to get these new entries or if it stores them on a file and then get them from there without the need to read again the database? Thank you
sphinx has it's own index and doesn't use your database while serving user query at all. each time you run it's indexer (15 minutes, right?) it stores data within his own index file and then operates using just that data.
