</div><br><div id="yiv334616106">The client currently has a searchable database of a 115,000 records written in cold fusion in a separate database on a separate server. <br>
<br>They would like me to bring it into their Drupal 6 site or at least onto the same server. <br><br>I can do this in two ways:<br>1. As a custom module running off it's own db.<br>2. Or I can make it a content type and use Views for the interface. <br>
<br>My preference is to just use CCK/Views for maximum flexibility -- but I question whether or not it's wise to add a 115k records to the node and other tables and what type of impact this might have on overall site performance. (Any other downsides?)<br>
<br>Anyone have any advice/suggestions? If it was your project would you code it separately or use CCK/Views.<br> </div></div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></body></html>
