Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

Frank

You're right, of course, but in a lot of blue-chip environments,
getting a db-backed site (being allowed one I mean) is a loooong
and complicated process, and it has to go in the queue of work
to do for dedicated dbas.

<tip type="large sites and content management">
Once you get above about a thousand pages, you'll be hitting
Content Management walls - things will begin to unravel for
you.

You *will* need a CM system - better to start work on it now than
wait for an emergency (like Compaq who accidentally advertised
monitors for $1 rather than $1000 last year).

Cheers
Martin

>I use constantly to maintain 3000+ file sites.

If I may ask, what kind of site uses 3000 files? I assume that's
about 500 pages. When things get that size, I start thinking in terms
of databases and apps right away.
