Millions of Number Plates into Indexable html Page Tables

wokka

Hello and I'm sorry if this is a riduclous quetion to ask, I'm new...

I want to get 30+ million number plates organised into a few hundred thousand html pages / tables and don't know if datatables can do this for me.

Ive found a couple of sites that are doing this here http://www.vregs.com/registration/AK08G and http://numplate.co.uk/AK08G

I'm willing to pay for support on this.

Many thanks in advance, John

DataTables won't organise it into individual pages. That's nothing to do with DataTables, which is just a table display library.

You probably want to use a server-side template script or something for that, but as I say, it is outside the scope of DataTables itself. Once you've got the HTML pages, just run DataTables on them :-)

Thanks for your help, Allan - I think I've got you.

Say, I use a cms like wordpress or drupal to create the top pages, say plates starting with AK08G - I could then insert a DataTable onto that page, that queried the entire database for these plates and displayed them there?

Am I barking up the right tree?

Cheers, John

Basically yes you could do that. I doubt using a CMS will be optimal in terms of performance of the site, but that might not be an issue depending on a number of factors (you might be quite comfortable using a CMS for example!).
