# Aug 9th 2008, 05:38 achew22 AD7six: did you know that prager from Revision 3 writes in cake?
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:37 AD7six Howard``: I wouldn't set a fixed idea on the number of dbs - use a formula and factor to define the limits. so that you can say "well, 1 db isn't enough - change $n to 2, resync dbs (move things around) and off we go again"
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:36 Howard`` it's a Joint Venture as they refer to it
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:36 achew22 AD7six: damn me... cascade huh. Thanks
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:36 Howard`` These people only make money based on referrals and are tight on who they'll brand apparently
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:35 Howard`` even if the conversion rate was 1% that would be a pretty significant load from the getgo
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:34 Howard`` They're expecting to reach out to about 500k people
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:34 Howard`` well the people i'm going to be marketing through are only going to be making money through referrals
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:34 AD7six Howard``: why think about sharding right at the beginning
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:33 AD7six achew22: I'm not a screen reader - and the answer is right in front of you.
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:33 Howard`` something along the lines of a base26 shard for asset references, then a dynamic database structure which holds the related user information and records, this would allow their entire account to be moved at any time needed.
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:32 Howard`` pretty much AD7six, i'm thinking that could work
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:32 achew22 AD7six: from the API it looks like you just pass conditions (required) http://api.cakephp.org/class_model.html#e479060f5069beff0f8888b70a314ff1
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:32 AD7six Howard``: semi linchpin like.
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:31 Howard`` I'm thinking maybe, a lightweight asset table which contains a user id association to a database, when this lookup is done, it references that database for all user information and records
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:31 AD7six achew22: delete all has 2 modes - tell me what they are
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:31 Howard`` yeah, trying to figure that ouw now AD7six
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:30 achew22 no, its doing a select instead of a delete
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:30 AD7six achew22: if it works yes. if you're getting ambiguous field errors no.
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:29 AD7six Howard``: entirely up to you. remember that the more you shard the more cross db joins you risk/need.
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:29 achew22 AD7six: is this what your meant? http://bin.cakephp.org/view/543725084
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:28 Howard`` AD7six, curious, would it be disasterous to make a seperate db for each user id?
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:27 kaotisch achew did you want me to paste my code to the bin, or did you mean someone else?
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:26 AD7six achew22: $condition['Not']['Model.field'] = $arrayOrId
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:26 achew22 its not really intuitive I am trying to delete all the things in the DB that aren't in $results
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:26 AD7six since when is that intuitive
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:26 AD7six achew22: where did you get " '`id` NOT' " from
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:25 Howard`` not sure if that's logical
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:25 Howard`` What I'm thinking about doing here is allowing like 100 accounts per database
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:25 achew22 AD7six: would you be willing to look at this? http://bin.cakephp.org/view/23017039
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:25 Howard`` yeah :)
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:25 AD7six Howard``: a base26 sharding system :)
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:24 Howard`` something along the lines of 26 databases depending on the first character of the username
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:24 pgcd_away ok, i'm having serious trouble getting swfupload 2.1 to work with cake 1.2, and there seem to be no useful tutorial... anybody here has done something with it?
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:24 Howard`` I've seen sharding in use actually
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:24 AD7six Howard``: well that's effectively dbo layer logic - i.e. doesn't influence any of your app code at all if it's done right.
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:22 AD7six Howard``: you'd be better off thinking about sharding etc. if/when you have to of course.
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:22 Howard`` thanks AD7six, checking that and sharding out now
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:21 achew22 hrm...
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:21 AD7six achew22: yes
# Aug 9th 2008, 05:21 achew22 AD7six: does deleteAll work?
