PHP / MySQL - highly transactional programming & thousands of concurrent users?
# Strong understanding of highly transactional programming
# Code optimization to support thousands of concurrent users
Hi,
I've just seen these included in the specs for a job advertisement for a PHP, MySQL Web Developer. Could you give me some ideas / examples of regular solutions / patterns to solve these problems.
What is highly transactional programming? Is this just a fancy term for a web app / site that will have to do a lot of DB updates?
What are the normal methods to accommodate high numbers of concurrent users in web apps. What can i do in the PHP / MySQL? or is it really down to Apache / MySQL Server and the hardware to deal with this?
Thanks

These 2 are listed as preferred skills - i have all the required skills on the job spec. I just want to understand what the two terms meant.
Anyway, now i know what is meant by Transactional Database Updates. Could i get a little more information about concurrent users just in terms of PHP / MySQL - i just want a very high level overview like what was given for transactional databases above.
