The database functionality loved and hated in 1.7 is again live and well but
with a kinder and gentler face....Now if a site with 100s of logfiles in a
list would put this up for testing....then it could be determined....if a
particular box had any cpu time left over to do other things. The kinder and
gentler face, while the help files are excellent, should offer some hint in
smaller type, on the form, what could be entered in a particular field for
the most common simple searches.
 
It seems like gathering this information....stress testing would yield more
information on what kind of dressing a box should have for high volume and
mature lists.
 
In the budget process, all of the inponderables need to be considered.
 
Thanks Team for doing an excellent job!
