I’m developing a web application that will use a google spreadsheet as a database.
This will mean parsing up to 30.000 (guestimated size) rows in regular operations for searching ID’s etc…
I’m worried about the response times i will be looking at. Does anybody have experience with this? I don’t want to waste my time on something that will hit a deadend at an issue like that.
Thanks in advance
Using spreadsheets as a database for this data set is probably not a good idea. Do you already have this spreadsheet set up?
30K rows will allow you to have only 66 columns, is that enough for you? Check the Google Docs size limits help page for more info.
Anyway, Google Spreadsheets have a “live concurrent editing” nature to it that makes it a much slower database than any other option. You should probably consider something else.
