Large Data base management- Multiple Calendars or one master one

[Michael]

Hi
I have gone ahead and purchased Calendar Pro and like it so far.
But contemplating getting a multiple license.

My questions are:
We will have a database of 50,000 events spread out over 50 states.
We aim to make a calendar that is in a tabular format. – 5 columns

A) Will this make editing each event cumbersome.. i.e will it slow down the system.
We do expect to have to make 100-200 edits per day sometimes.
Should we break up the database into 5 regions for quicker viewing and editing.

B) We are able to input a column with zip code for each event.
Is it possible to develop a code that automatically enables google maps when we are doing an import file for each event.
We could not possibly go back into 50,000 events to enable it per event.

thanks
Mike

Hey Mike,

Welcome to the forums and thanks for reaching out 🙂

For future reference, please use the appropriate forum when posting rather than the Pre-Sales channel. This helps expedite the queue and allows us to respond faster.

With that said, or plugin is designed to handle many thousands of events. I do not see why it would be impossible to add/maintain that many events, but the speed/performance will be more related to your development environment, server setup, cloud integration, caching, etc. So I would say our plugin does fit the criteria you’re looking for, but the site performance is ultimately in your hands.

Depending on how you’re importing events, you should have the option to specify whether event maps are displayed or not. The relative postmeta meta_key is _EventShowMapLink – so as long as a 1 is entered, events should display the map properly.

Let me know if I’ve sufficiently answered your questions and enjoy the remainder of your week.
