didyouknows were sweet,
How about -
keep a list of the records, (1 "record" per didyouknow),
make them accessable from the stats page,
when a new game is reported - check to see if any old record has been broken - if so update the list of records...
this should be complexity 1, upposed to sorting which at best is something like N log(N) or something like that (been a while since college.) (Where N is 250k)...
then when loading a page, you can just pick a random line and spit it out quick...
please add records for most niggled too

Ahh Huhh!!!!
I am leaving the building. |
I wish it was 16, since I played a game with 17, however it was 19... |

well that still leaves a problem of concurrency and filelocking, i guess it would be easy to implement a producer/consumer thingy here but it would generate (noticable) extra server load no matter how you put it.

Well, if the querries that generated the did you knows where run once a day at an off time and stored in a table, then they could be pulled from that table to show on each page without aditional load. That would be one possible way of doing it. |

I seriously doubt that. With less than 300 games a day being reported, the load to keep didyouknows is insignificant (under the proposed scheme) The problem was generating the didyouknows on the fly with each page load.
as for concurrancy / filelocking - match reporting already requires some degree of filelocking. Even if only to get a match id#. As for someone getting an "out of date" didyouknow - it will most likely be milliseconds out of date.
a scheduled task to generate the didyouknows will likely require as much coding as updating with match reporting. maybe more as the webpage is in php - and last time I coded PHP there wasn't a trivial treatment for a scheduled execution of PHP code. [and there are potential security risks with such an item...]
I think the stat pages may need some of the same treatment--loading most of the stat pages ( ref this link : http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=stats ) can take a long time. I would suspect if a few people view stats at the same time - team loads / reporting / etc goes to "hell"... |

Well not really.. Those stuff would go into the query cache and be delivered more or less instantly after the first load...
At this point, the most common query that takes alot of time is one that displays a list of matches for a coach / team. |

But either way... FUMBBL ROCKS!!!!  |
