Re: Anyone using SE with high transaction volume?

Using recycled bits, Jacob Salomon pleaded: [Posted and mailed] %Hi Family. % %One of my managers (a short dumpy guy with pointy hair around an %otherwise bald head ;-) asked for references about this. Damn! You work for PHB, too? Everybody does... %Does anyone here use SE with a high volume of trasactions? Handling 40+ %users? What kind of performance do you get? % %I tried looking for this in DenaNews and noted that someone (Mariusz M) %had run benchmarks for SE. But we need info on real world performance of %applications using Standard Engine. Prefereably 7.2+ of SE. A few aeons ago, I used SE 7.x(1, I think).something. Shoved multiple 200 Mb+ files through it all day long, each containing about 50,000 records that were twisted, split, joined and otherwise tweaked, using dbload, a couple of esql/c programs and a stored proc to create a key. Anyway, the reason I'm telling you this is that we loaded about 22,000 rows per hour. Yes, that ain't so hot, but we whaled on that server 7x24 and it was incredibly solid. It only went down when the box went down (Unisys something or other with 4 P66s and 1GB+/- RAM and a grundle o' disk). % -- Jake (Checking my necktie for curls) It's curled. You got a problem with that? :-) Kurt -- I'm so relieved that there wasn't an apostle named `Kurt'.
