<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Don't get me wrong, I'm
chuffed to mint balls about the D7 effort and the result, for many
reasons, not least of which is the amazing talent represented by it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">That said, I received a
letter
today from the hoster stating that my account was a performance problem
because it had over 1000 tables. Eight Drupal sites coud be over 1000
tables. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
I have a hosting account with 'unlimited domains' and up to 25
databases. I use the account both for hosting several live domains,
most multi site, as well as a test area that clients can access for
testing changes to existing domains. 8 Drupal sites could be over 1000
tables with the typical array of add-on modules, let alone that most of
these sites are doing e-commerce.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">I've let them know that
they might want to consider a more meaningful indicator of performance
issues than a script that counts tables, since probably none of these
sites does more than 100 transactions per day. If they hold firm, I'll
blog (and post here) their name.<br>
