Re: Database & MyCollection - What do you want to see?

Everything is processed on the server side, meaning the W900 website - that means, basically, that the response times are only as good as the website allows for. Again, adding more info to the database increases the amount of time necessary to read that, so it will take a lot longer to read your 1500 models than it will to read a few dozen.
I was afraid you might say that. Thanks for clearing that up. This is wishful thinking, but maybe there could be a feature were we could "streamline" our collection database so that only absolutely essntial information appeared on the screen, such as id #, aircraft and airline. This way, when we are adding new models or simply browsing to check if we have a particular model before buying it, the collection would load much quicker - I think?
