[wp-hackers] when to use custom database tables

[Steve Taylor]

Hi,

I've managed every project so far with custom post types and
taxonomies. However, I'm starting on a large project where I wonder if
it might be better suited to using custom tables.

Rather than detail all my specs, I'm just wondering, does anyone have
any good rules of thumb for when custom tables become preferable to
CPTs?

I can give specs if necessary!

Thanks,

Steve Taylor
