RE: How to get 7 values out of more than 2'000'000 documents ~Naomi Deskroterakol 2.Dec.03 05:58 PM a Web browser Applications Development 6.0.2 CF2Windows 2000
Nonsense. Notes has been able to handle this kind of volume for some time. Ten times that much and you might run into problems. But 2 million documents are easily supported in a well-designed application. When we take into account the fact that these databases are logs, and therefore the growth rate is known and prior information is not subject to change, there's no reason not to do it this way. 2 million docs over a year is less than 10000 per day, which (assuming a 16 hour usage period) is about 625 per hour, which is about 10 a minute. Well-within the capacity of the Domino indexer, particularly if you bother to schedule an UPDALL at night to ensure up-to-date indexes in current logs.
That being said, Andre is quite right in his remark that this would be better done by not creating an individual document for each search log, and instead storing global line item documents that record search information in list structures within single documents. Undoubtedly this system already has profile documents for users of some kind, and any individual user is not likely to have performed more than 1000 searches or so in a given year. So recording the logs in that user profile should be easy, and would make searching for a given user pretty much instantaneous -- since you're only resorting list structures within a single document context, instead of sorting millions of documents.
But it's not necessary. If your log databases have an appropriate structure to them, and you build two or three views with intelligent category structures, this should all be very easy through embedded views and "show single category."
