[mapguide-internals] MapGuide RFC 112 - sqlite based tile cache

[Traian Stanev]

Hi Zac,


"Generating tiles is currently done using a rather brute force approach, by storing tiles in a database, it can be queried for existing tiles and only missing tiles can be requested."

What do you mean by brute force? Doesn't tile existence checking come down to a file existence check?


"Using a sqlite database will use less disk space than a disk based tile cache."

Do you have some numbers about the expected improvement? Inside its file, SQLite is basically a file system which will exhibit incomplete page filling and overflow, similar to a regular file system.


Traian
