Hello,
I want to create an intra-net that have user account, acl for permissions, reports.... and forms. but a lot of forms.
I know in drupal that field api create a new table in database and this app need hundreds of forms, webform will facilitate things, but my question is this cause a problem related to the performance of the web site or is there another solution ? (hundreds of forms means many and many thousands of fields !!!)

thanks.

Scaling

Posted by johnmcgov on January 8, 2013 at 11:54pm

Hi there,

I use webform in production on a decent size site and have not had any sort of issues. It is a great module. Just checked and we have more than 3,000 fields (form components) across different forms. The biggest factors in scaling will be more around issues such as server performance, disk performance, PHP opcode caching, how many sessions you are handling at one time, and such. But as far as Drupal and MySQL goes, it is definitely doable.

Hope that is of some help!

John

thank you

thank you for replying and confirming, I'll try webform in this case, and you encourage me to use it because you have tried this in 3,000 form and it's a big number like I need.
