I am developing a site with codeigniter and would like to know which caching

  • 0

I am developing a site with codeigniter and would like to know which caching system will be best to use with a very large database (above 100k records with many join queries ) so my questions is:

is file-based caching is good or I will have some I/O issues?
or should I write a new driver (I am not sure if codeignter have such driver ) for caching which will store cache in database as key,value pairs?

I cant use memcache or APC due to large size of rows so which should i choose file-based or database-based.

Thanks for any input.

    More than the row count, it depends on the total data size.

    If the total size of the object is less than 1MB then memcache is a better option. But if it going to be more, then you can consider file based cache.

    But remember file based cache will always have latency because of disk I/O

    Edit:

    If you cache size is more, then I would recommend File based cache.
