Every time a user visits the site, the system calculates the next value of the Fibonacci Sequence by taking the previous two numbers in the database and adding them together, storing the result.
Why not? In some early computer science programming courses they teach you to build a recursive function, such as one that can calculate this sequence, and I occasionally code it again for practice. There's a certain point where the recursion takes too long, so I thought about storing previous results in SQL, and this idea came to fruition.
