Hey guys,
What are the pluses and minuses to keeping the SQL tags in a SQL database versus keeping them in an internal tag provider? Right now I have all of my tags in an internal tag provider because I didn’t want to hit the database any more than I had to. However, now I’m starting to get a larger number of tags than I previously expected (the more people that see the project the more requests I get to add stuff ) and I was wondering if there would be any reason to switch to a SQL tag provider, memory, CPU demand, etc… My SQL database is in a MSSQL clustered environment if that makes a difference and not on the same server as Ignition.
Also, if I was going to switch how easy would it be to do? Can I just switch it over to a different provider on the fly?
