A quick Question

[Neo_Angelo]

Ok before i set up my vBulletin i'd like to know what each of the following mean, i've seen in hacks that detail say takes up 1 query or something else?

are you limited to queries on vBulletin or does it depend on the SQL thing you get with hosting? my hosting will have 5 SQL databases, but i thought you could have infinite queries.

i'm a little confused as to what the details of hacks are for, like when it says take up 1 query or 1 of something else, would someone please tell me what they are for and if i'm limited to how many i can have. any help will be much appreciated.

A query is an object that requests information from a database and creates a dataset of the requested information. Baslicly one query means that PHP had to communicate with the database one time. There are no limits to queries, but the more queries you have, the longer it will take to load the page. This of course all depends on your server and hosting account. You run over 100 queries while installing vBulletin, so you won't have to worry about that to much. :)

If you look at the footer of any page here at vBulletin.org, you will notice this:

Page generated in 0.16020 seconds with 20 queries. That can give you an idea of how many queries vB.org runs on a single page load. Loading 20 queries for this thread is normal. Like I said, you won't have to worry about it to much. Unless of course you see something that will add 50+ queries. :p
