I know a LOT of you out there use this forum. Some in SQL others in AccessDB. But I was wondering... What about an XML db version of this forum? Many free hosts with asp support it and file sizes will not be an issue. SQL is a little heavy on memory and some free server's don't allow more than a few. If you already use a couple for other stuff, you're already in trouble. AccessDB's can get huge. If you're running the board on a free server, memory and filesizes can be an big problem. More and more servers out there are upgrading to .net 2003 anyway so this would be a logical next step for the forum. Wouldn't you agree? ------------- evolution is a vehicle. drive responsibly |

That would probably need a complete rewrite of the forum. Not sure Bruce would want to do that again  ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Oh lol. Good point Maddog Sorry -boRg- . I didn't realize there was actual work involved I was thinking mabe an XML based forum would be easier to code than that based on other db systems. Plus... Updating XML would be a snap. Anyone and their grandma could do it. It would be faster too... XML is basically text. But I guess we'll have to wait until ver.10 or 11? ------------- evolution is a vehicle. drive responsibly |
