Do You Know Databases?

March 19, 2005

If so, I'd like to ask for your help. I have a project in mind that I've been thinking about for over a year. Up until now I haven't done anything with it, but I'm feeling inspired. Without giving much away, it's going to be a concert listings site. There's much more to it, which is why I am seeking out some help.

I don't necessarily need someone who wants to work on the project with me, I just need someone to guide me in my database/hosting needs. I've never built a site that could potentially have hundreds of thousands of entries in a table and I want to make sure I get it right from the start.

There's a chance I might bug you down the road as I begin coding, but I mostly just need you to help me work out the database architecture and the hosting hardware needed to keep things afloat. If you can offer me a little bit of time, that'd be great. If not, I understand. I don't really have time to do this myself, but everytime I mention this idea to friends they get excited, which gets me excited.

If you just want to know more about the idea, you can shoot me an email or leave a comment. Thanks.

Dude. Why didn't you mention this last night when I saw you? I'm totally your database guy. What are you looking to code in? PHP, Perl, ASP?
