I've seen a number of answers (1, 2, 3) where they state that storage is cheap. So when designing a DB structure, it shouldn't be a main concern, or at least it doesn't rank very high in the list of concerns. What troubles me is that although storing data is very cheap, moving it around, transferring it between DB and application when querying, isn't so much.Why does this seem to be often neglected? Am I wrong and is it also as unimportant as storage? I mean, how do transferring costs rank in comparison to storage costs?
How costly is DB data transfer as compared to data storage?
