Data management question

Hi!

The tutorial mini-book I’m building will create an atlas of sorts that will potentially hold a relatively large amount of data. By relatively large, I’m thinking somewhere between 40K-50K rows of data. Would you recommend storing the data in a table and then “dynamically” building the card on the fly or just creating individual cards and a small table with references to the cards. I’m sort of leaning towards the latter approach, but I’m new to Decker and I may be looking at the problem from the wrong angle.

I suggest trying whatever approach you find the clearest and most straightforward.

If you run into performance issues I'd be happy to take a look and suggest alternatives and/or see if there's low-hanging fruit in Decker itself for speeding things up.

Thanks. Right now I’m looking at three related tables and I’m intentionally using a subset of the data. For the tutorial, I don’t want to go overboard, but for my information I do want to test the limits of what’s possible.
