    Using Umbraco 4.5.2 for searching and building large database

    UI Questions

    I need pointing in the right direction if i was to create something like www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/ in Umbraco.

    As i see it I have two choices:

    I make a custom table for each attribute with relevant relational tables and then pull/push the data with the umbraco.BusinessLogic.Application.SqlHelper() class.

    or

    I use a single documenttype with template to create thousands of child documents each containing an item record with all the related content via datafields.

    What is the way to go? I think the second method would create to many nodes and slow the system down?

    Thanks

    Go with custom tables and have a look at Examine to index and search with your custom datasource

     

    My .02 cents

    Cheers,
