We put a huge database in sphinx for full text, but realised it could be used an index on many of the other fields too! @Pavel Sphinx can search multiple indexes in one query, so the basic idea is to create a main index, and the a delta index, you just more regually reindex the delta index. You can even have multiple delta indexes - basically constantly reindexing the changes. You can also use line attribute updates to 'delete' items from the main index without reindexing.

Am I correct. If you have thousands of writes per second and you want the info to be available within 1-3 second span how would you do that with sphynx??? if reindexing takes 20-40 seconds of 3Mil rows as you said...

First of all, you blog is very interesting and I like it, salute from Ireland to you! ;) The problem is with MySQL(like with every DBMS written by folks wo/ corporate experience) still the relative small amount of features to handle something bigger than the average. Let me show you what i am thinking about: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0605ahuja2/index.html http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oracle9i/datasheets/partitioning.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345146.aspx And just for the record, innodb is an Oracle product. Maybe you can try this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/partitioning-limitations.html Regards, lix Hi!
