This should work. I trust you are using SQL 2005 as it offers performance
benefits over SQL 2000.

When you start getting large tables you need to think about partitioning,
ideally you would partition according to some criteria which matches your
querying restrictions. For example of the majority of your queries are date
bases you could have a different table (and catalog) for each year.

You will also get better performance by dedicating a catalog to each large
table.

Hi

I have a requiremnt for a Keyword search on 15 fileds on my tables.

There are 4 tables - Each table has 3 fields of varchar. which needs to
be idexed for full text.
i.e Full text index on 4 tables, each table has index on 3 columns.

Will there be any issues of this design?

Please suggest me How could I design this requirment? Is FT is a proper
solution.
If any thought on hanling Paging in the respective ASP.NET Page for
Quicker end user respone.

Estimated size of DB is 5 Million records. 400 concurrent users - what
is the preferred Infrstructure ( DB configuration), How could we Scale
up as the DB size grows?

Thanx

Thanx Hillary

Any thoughts on Infrastructure requirment?

Where do i get some metrix on Inrastructure VS Performance VS DB
Design/Size
My concern is for 5 million record, how fast the respose will be?,
what is the suggested Infrstructure?

How do I implement paging? is there any facility in the SQL server ? (
basically to provide the better response to the client page)


Any Input or links/ Weblogs/URLS to this?

Thanx
-SenShan

You need a multi-proc box, I was told there was a sweet spot for full-text
search on an 8 way by a Microsoft product manager for full-text. You need a
fast disk subsystem preferably a raid 10 array with as many spindles as
possible for your catalogs with a dedicated controller. Preferably 64 bit
with 8 gigs or more RAM.

As I have no idea of your non-full-text load coming up with such a spec is
purely speculation.
