Drupal.org is also running on a cluster of servers that have been scaled over a longer period of time by people that know what they're doing. On Mar 8, 2012 8:08 AM, "Ms. Nancy Wichmann" <nan_wich@bellsouth.net> wrote:
Let's see, Drupal.org has more than 10 times the nodes plus many more comments. It runs D6 and uses Views. And it is usually fast enough.

The client currently has a searchable database of a 115,000 records written in cold fusion in a separate database on a separate server.
They would like me to bring it into their Drupal 6 site or at least onto the same server.
I can do this in two ways: 1. As a custom module running off it's own db. 2. Or I can make it a content type and use Views for the interface.
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?)
Anyone have any advice/suggestions? If it was your project would you code it separately or use CCK/Views.
