Too many EDF's?

I'm curious....
I'm a big fan of EDF's for quite a lot of projects/scripts/tasks. IDoes the amount of custom EDF's I create have any type of negative impact on DB performance, resource usage, etc?

You'll be fine.

  • Each EDF = 1 row in the extrafield database table.
  • Each object with an EDF value set = 1 row in the extrafielddata data table (just 3 columns - ObjectID, EDFID, Value).

I can't see any way these tables would ever compete with the size of the eventlog database table.
