The first thing to learn, if you're in the technical field, is, "there are always limits", and if anyone ever tells you something has no limit, they're lying. So, I'm loading a lot of data into my database for the contest. Basically, I'm entering in each kill that takes place, so I can put up a page with the scores (soon). Now I run on a shared server, so I don't want to mess up performance for others on my server, so I asked them what size of bulk insert I should do (it's a manual process because I can't remotely insert), and the response I got back was, "There is no such limit for group of values". Sadly, I know that A. there is an actual limit in the db, and B. before the database limit, there is a performance limit. This is what I get for trying to be nice. It's ok, I broke it down as much as I could, hopefully it's enough.
RIP rm-r-comic
