<br>Hi Patrick, <br><br>thanks a lot for your personal help. What do you think about the other suggested solution proposed, using SQLite recipe? What approach would you use?<br><br><br>> Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 14:35:24 -0500<br>> From: pmichaud@pobox.com<br>> To: jokerman44@hotmail.com<br>> CC: pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com<br>> Subject: Re: [pmwiki-users] Large ammount of articles... about 50k<br>> <br>> On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 06:20:03PM +0000, Jaime Sempere wrote:<br>> > I have been using PMwiki for a wiki and really like its <br>> > simplicity.
