The most efficient method storing voting data in a MySQL database (like StackOverflow)?

Create another table to store information from the users and posts tables.

Best practice, for something the size of stackoverflow, is to store the individual votes in a separate table. But also keep a derived vote count in a field directly attached to the post. As database sizes grow, it'll become prohibitively expensive to sum up all the votes on every viewing of a post.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
