There are many ways to fit a need (databases w/ cached content). My own opinion is that their web development team still does not have the training required to run a site of that magnitude. I recently worked for a college and developed a CMS to manage our content. It took well over a year to develop and is still in development and is far from complete, but the framework is there and it works. If their web development team does have the skills required to do a major overhaul, I suspect conflict between the powers that be and IT. Old school management doesn't want to invest into anything unless it's benefits slap them on the face. There is no reason not to use databases, even for reasons you’ve listed.

There is a limitation on the maximum number of users that can be connected to the server all at the same time. I guess that their Apache connections have maxed out.

The HTML would be in separate file, which will call the flat files so that there would be less server resources to use everytime you republish (you would only republish the HTML). I haven't attempted to try javascript to do that (I am not sure if js is capable of doing that, maybe some workarounds). What I wanted is that the files contain only the content.

May CMS pa rin sila for the editors to use to submit the articles but once it is published, it's already flat file. Hoop is right.

I didn't know they can't afford to buy an Oracle. Maybe the Oracle sales team should exert more effort to convince this mammoth media company to adapt to newer technology. How many visits pinoyblog.com daily? If pinoyblog can serve even a tenth of what they had and considering the number of persons and monetary capability of pinoyblog's team as compared to INQ7's then yuga's team thrash them. BTW, I noticed a slowdown on pinoyblog too. Calling yuga. Then they must have paid so much for their IT guys to transfer back and forth all those flat files.
