<h1>Updates and changes</h1>
|
|
|
16 |
<p>I've been updating <?php echo $nick; ?> recently with some really cool enhancements to the back-end. This is more technical stuff
|
|
|
17 |
so you might want to read on only if you're a geek.</p>
|
|
|
18 |
<p><?php echo $nick; ?> only stores info with MySQL now. All the stats go into a MySQL table that had an initial size of over 360,000
|
|
|
19 |
records after the import of the existing flat file database. This means that while querying can be slower (things aren't split up
|
|
|
20 |
like they were with the flatfile DB) it's a more portable programming technique and it means it can be easily expanded in the
|
|
|
21 |
future to include more data. The table's indexed so it should be decently fast.</p>
|
|
|
22 |
<p>In addition, smarter functionality is being included, plus a few bugs here and there have been fixed.</p>
