Okay so I was wondering how Facebook and other sites like Twitter keep up with user’s posts? When a user goes onto the time line and makes a post, i wouldn’t imagine that their text and such would be kept in an mySQL database. Their user data might, but I wouldn’t imagine their posts would. Can anyone tell me what type of database I should look into? Thanks.
It could be kept in a mysql database. If you haven’t already, you should read about foreign and primary keys in a db, they create a relationship that connects say a table named
usersto another table namedpostswhich might have a columnposterwhich is linked tousers=>idor something. It’s quite easy if you know db relationships
