This might seem a stupid question, but I'm thinking about using a database as a data cache only. Is this a good idea? Only if data flows unidirectional from a different store format (ramblings.txt) to the db, and never in the other direction (i.e. post comments). I'm biased towards text files: "source code" for data. I don't have a good feel for dbs due to lack of experience. How to design tables? In snooze [1] [2], is it ok to sometimes add tables or should we use a different table for things that might associated to objects? Let's stick to the real problems: * ramblings should be sped-up. reload is too slow with huge text files. * I'd like to add some kind of comment posts facility to the ramblings posts.
