Sorry if there is already a post covering this but I had a quick look and did not see a title to a thread covering this topic.

May I ask as to which criterion you use for determining Number of users with the same number of credits?

+/-1?
+/-5?
something in between?

Thanks.

The exact same number of credits.

Hmmm.

On my non-P@H total combined totals, it states there is one user with the same credits and yet I only view one with 1 less and there are two, if memory serves, with a difference of 7 (one 7 less, one 7 more). There was no-one with the exact total I had - which I why I though it was a function of +/- some amount equal to or less than 5.

There was a little bug. I forgot to filter out 'dead' accounts.

Cool!
Thanks!!
So, then, how large a data-base, in terms of storage on a hard-drive does all the data take if you're storing non-active accounts? Will you be able to handle the theoretical 1,000,000+ transfer to SetiBOINC when SetiClassic shuts down? Is your shout-box long enough to handle the bombardment of "where is my credit" questions? :wink:

I started with a 15MB database and now it's about 200MB.

I keep inactive accounts (users/teams/hosts) in the database for 7 days (it may be a error in the XML file). After 7 days they are deleted. During these 7 days, the accounts are not included in the stats. No calculations are made (overtake, position etc.)
