I'm developing a webchat and I have to decide what strategy to use. I can use either a text file or a database to store the data that come from and go to the users.
Yes, I've seen the other posts where people are talking about it, but I have a few more questions than just "which one is faster" (that's also one of my questions, but not the only one). And I will point out the problem more carefully.
First of all many users will share the same room and chat with all the others at the same time. Many rooms will be open at the same time (the same user can be at two rooms at the same time).
In this system messages is not the only thing that come and go. The status (away, online, typing etc), updates ("don't talk to me, i had the worst day of my life" or "i'm new here"), who logged out and in, replies to other messages, and the messages themselves are the kind of traffic that will be there. Somewhere.
I want the Javascript to receive the data in JSON format.
And I want this chat to be used by many many people at the same time! Will send requests from each one of them every 5 or 10 seconds.
Some data will be stored in the Database for sure (the user sessions, its id, the user's id, information about the room, when it was created etc), but how it will deal with dynamic data flow is still to be decided.
In other words, even if it's not the most complex chat ever developed, it's not the simplest one.
Example of files distribution if strategy chosen is text file: Path: /root/room/1 (to room 1) Files: 1000001, 100002, 100003 (users in this room)
Path: /root/room/2 Files: 1000002, 100005, 100010
Messages and any other kind of update (access, status, personal update etc) sent in room 1 FROM user 1000001 will be saved in paths /root/room/1/100002 (user 2) and /root/room/1/100003 (user 3) and so on.
Each user will read his own file for that room and erase it after reading so only new data will be in that files everytime they read them.
The data is written in JSON format so no further encoding is needed.
The questions: 1- Considering a huge traffic of data being written in and read from these text files, what is the best option, using the database to save the file and then make queries (SELECT FROM messages (and from update, and from access, and from anything else) WHERE id > #number) every 5 or 10 seconds, for each user in each room, or using the text files?
2- If the Database is the best option, should I write it in JSON format? I would use a field called JSON, because I wouldn't want to loose the ability of making queries in that database. Or maybe I would create a new table, connecting the user, the room and the JSON and write AGAIN in other tables to keep the tuple format.
3- if File is the best option, would you consider replicating the data in the database (just in case you want to query or whatever) everytime it's saved in the files?

Mix: UK shuffle, turbo.264, iRepair, Museum
The iPod shuffle has seen a price drop in the UK, from £55 to £49 (approx. $97). This follows an April drop in the price of fifth-generations iPods, when the 30GB model was cut £10 while the 80GB went from £259 to £239 (approx. $472).
Previously mentioned on iLounge, Elgato's Turbo.264 H.264 video encoder is now available for $100. The USB 2.0 device accelerates video exports to iPod and Apple TV formats from any application that uses Quicktime export.
iPod repair service iRepair.ca has launched a US-based service and is offering 24-hour turn around iPod repair service for all models.
According to a UK survey, the iPod was the universal favored choice as an everyday object that belongs in a museum.

. . . and Why Unions Are Death on Charter Schools
December 06, 1998
Sol Stern
THE United Federation of Teachers (UFT) had a bad week in Albany last week. For the first time in history, one of the Legislature's two houses â the state Senate â passed education reforms that were not pre-approved by the teachers union bosses.
With Gov. Pataki and the Senate on record for charter schools, the UFT now is squeezing Assembly Speaker Sheldon Sill. Specifically, the UFT is pushing â as it tried and failed with the governor and the Senate â to mandate that every charter school in New York City be controlled by the UFT from day one.
The UFT has even stooped to calling the senate bill "union busting" even though the bill provides the teaching staff of every new charter school with the right â on their own, if they so desire â to elect a union and negotiate a contract. Virtually all of the more than 1,000 charter schools in operation around the nation have chosen not to go the union route, because teachers favor the flexibility charter schools offer over the straitjacket of union work-to-rule contracts.
Why would forcing a one-size-fits-all union contract environment on charter schools in New York be so bad? Read the UFT contractâs provisions and you'll understand.
The current contract between the Board of Education and the UFT can best be described as a "we-don't-do-windows" document. Among the tasks that principals are forbidden to require of teachers under the contract: attending more than one staff meeting per month after school hours, walking the children to a school bus, patrolling the hallways or the lunchroom or the schoolyard, covering an extra class in an emergency, attending a lunchtime staff meeting, or coming in a few days prior to the opening of school each September to do some planning.
The contract undermines teacher professionalism, excellence and hard work in other ways. In most of the city's schools, principals must fill many of their teacher vacancies according to seniority rather than merit. And when a teacher transfers from one city school to another, the principal of the new school can't even get the previous principal's written comments on the transferring teacher's personnel file.
What is most revealing about the UFT contract, however, is what it does not say. In its 200 pages of text, this labor agreement breathes not a word about how many hours teachers must work. Article Six stipulates only that "the school day ... shall be six hours and 20 minutes" and that the school year lasts from the Tuesday after Labor Day until June 26. School principals may not require teachers to be in the building one day before that Tuesday, one minute before the students arrive each day, or one minute after the students leave.
Of course, many dedicated teachers work extra hours. One of the dirty little secrets of the system, however, is that there are many others who work close to, or exactly at, the contractual minimum. In the four different New York City public schools my children have attended, they have had several teachers who took the words in the contract about the length of the school day as gospel. Arriving in school just a few minutes before the children every morning, these teachers were usually out the door exactly at dismissal time. They rarely took any work home, grading at school the homework that they sporadically assigned. If the teachers worked all 10 of the preparation periods provided for in the contract, and if we deduct their 50-minute "duty-free" lunch periods, I estimate that they worked a maximum of 28 hours per week, or about 1000 hours per year.
This pervasive culture of mediocrity and time-serving takes a devastating toll on more ambitious teachers. Thatâs why charter schools usually have long waiting lists of teachers who want to leave school districts for the education-focused environment of charter schools.
With charter schools authorized in 33 states, and vouchers gaining momentum, the teachers' unions may not be quite as unassailable as they appear. Despite the millions of dollars they spend on public relations, they have been unable to convince the American people â certainly not New Yorkers â that their children's schools and classrooms are in good hands.
Gov. Pataki, who is on parents' side on this issue, should stand firm. Charter schools must have the freedom to focus on educating our children, not on work rules. That's what freedom from the UFTâs "we don't do windows" contract and from the "work-to-rule" culture is all about.
