Re: Hardware and Performance

[allan deleon <allan@instantsoft.com>]

We're serving 380 dynamic minivend templates (over 90% of these
templates access an sql database using [sql set/list, etc.] ) on a Sun
Enterprise 450 with 4 ultra sparc CPUs and 1 gig of memory and
18 gigs of ultra wide scsi.

But even with this machine, I worry about minivend's lack of a
database connection pool. It simply will not scale if it has to open
a database connection for every database access in a catalog.
