I have a table in which approx 100,000 rows are added every day. I am supposed to generate reports from this table. I am using PHP to generate these reports. Recently the script which used to do this is taking too long to complete. How can I improve the performance by shifting to something else than MYSQL which is scalable in the long run.

    MySQL is very scalable, that’s for sure.

    The key is not changing the db from Mysql to other but you should:

    1. Optimize your queries (can sound silly for others but I remember for instance that a huge improvment I’ve done sometime ago is to change SELECT * into selecting only the column(s) I need. It’s a frequent issue I meet in others code too)
    2. Optimize your table(s) design (normalization etc).
    3. Add indexes on the column(s) you are using frequently in the queries.
