Greetings,
Do anyone know where to find a description of how fulltext indexing
and query speeds depend on data volume? I have 30-40 gb of text
distributed across 30-40 million entries, a medium size database I
suppose. But I have not even been able to test a query yet, because
indexing is on its second day. Which I think cant be right. I will come
up with the details if anyone asks, but how long is indexing supposed
to take on different amounts of data? if there is a way to predict how
long it will take, then that might work; then we may simply buy a
machine do nothing but indexing .. assuming the "boolean mode"
queries finish in "interactive time", ie seconds, not minutes. I use v.
4.0.12, but will happily upgrade if indexing becomes faster.
