If not, > what work around / hacks do I need to do. Please forgive my low ability on English and you sound like. "I can drive a car, if it has a diesel engine and we want Ferrari for our need. Is there any way to fit a diesel engine in Ferrari ?" Your problem isn't php, You problem is your way to think... You are trying to bend php to fit your way of the building web sites. I'm sorry, things does not work like that. You are trying to represent your business logic as "ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE STANDARTS". I'm sorry, it wont ! Even with provocative subject, it still business logic at large. On Large Web sites, Site has own standards which enterprise must have to obey.. (like Facebook or any other uber number cruncher you name it) Anyway... You want to build a damn huge web site with damn huge data set and damn huge requests per second. and you still want to use that SQL for primary data store for reading. ARE YOU NUTS ??? With this kind of approach, You will be in deep trouble with any language, with any Reational SQL Server. If your customers need that kind of thing. You need lots of sophisticated people which know how to handle big things under web enviroment. Good luck to you.
