Hi. <br><br>I was hoping for some advice.  I recently took over an existing Drupal site for a nonprofit.  <br><br>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><br>1.   As a custom module running off it&#39;s own db.<br><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&#39;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><br>Thanks,<br>Sam<br clear="all"><br><br>Sam Cohen, Principal<br><a href="http://new-media-solutions.com" target="_blank">New Media Solutions</a><br>
