[21:24] chronomex: Would this work as db design? http://pastebin.com/afKdmUBt [21:25] I wanna try importing a couple million records into a postgres db to see what happens [21:26] Maybe partitioning ( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/ddl-partitioning.html ) of the shorturl table would be a good idea, putting all bit.ly links on one table, all tinyurl.com links in one and all the smaller shorteners into another table [22:50] you could cluster instead
