Hi All,

Quick question...when I am storing voting results, what is the best way to handle this?

Store each vote?
Vote#1773 Image#1224 4 points
Vote#1774 Image#1232 8 points

-or-

Add the total to the record?

Image#1224 12 votes 60 points
Image#1232 16 votes 86 points



I know it might slow things down to calculate the votes and points each time someone loads a page, but I also know that if this number gets messed up somehow I won't be able to recalculate it.

Is it worth it to store votes and add to the record, then nightly/weekly run a calculation?

Appreciate the thoughts!
