Database Selection Reference
Database Selection Reference
At present, the requirements for game programs are higher than ever. Online games start with only a few users and very little data. However, if the game is successful, it can easily exceed the resources of the basic database management system, which is not uncommon. The game program’s database must handle tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of reads and writes per second. TcaplusDB is ideal for these types of workloads. As a developer, you want to start with a low cost and gradually increase capacity as game programs gain popularity. TcaplusDB can be seamlessly extended to handle large amounts of data and users. The following table describes some of the key features of TcaplusDB.
