Ok, I've attached the latest schema.
My next question is do we need to worry about the potential size of the
gl2_item table from a performance view point?
I just did some preliminary counts on key tables for Iowa Outdoors and I
would have in the neighborhood of 150,000 records in the item table. So
extrapolate that out to, say a Groklaw, I think you could get well into
the millions of records.
I don't think it's the number of rows in the database that bothers me as
much as doing the joins to all the plugin-specific one-to-one item
tables to the main item table at the same time.
Someone with a real DBA mindset needs to make sure I'm not going off my
rocker.
