Libraries back up!
Monday, January 13, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
For the past day and a half the WinCustomize libraries were down for maintainence. The SQL servers have just been so maxed out by the increase in traffic that the site wasn't able to respond adequately.
We used the time to optimize the SQL accesses. This morning, T-man was able to re-implement the way user data is accessed in a way that is far less intensive and as a result we can turn on the libraries again.
In the long term, we will still need to purchase an additional server but the rewrite up the SQL accessing should (hopefully) show a significant improvement in speed. We aplogize for the inconvenience.

Well done guys. Hopefully this will quieten those numerous ungrateful individuals who don't actually appreciate how much you are spending in monetary and effort terms to give them something for free!
