[cobalt-users] MySQL Load Limits (especially on a RaQ2)

["Steven Werby" <steven@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

MySQL users, I am interested in knowing what MySQL's load limits are on a
RaQ2 and on a more powerful server?  I know it "depends", but I'm just
trying to get a feel for what others are getting it to do.  In particular,
I'm interested in simple to complex queries of large tables (500,000 -
10,000,000+ records) in order to return matching records to a webpage using
PHP.

I'm looking for responses like "I have a webpage on a RaQ2 that does a
straight select on a 5 million record table through PHP and that page gets
400,000 hits per day, primarily over a 10 hour period with no problems".

I'm trying to determine whether MySQL is a feasible solution for a project I
am developing and also whether a RaQ2 or RaQ3 are up to the task.
