Objects in Dedicated Server

Anyone know what the reliability is of adding a large number of objects dynamically from a database before a player spawns in dedicated server?

And if the objects are picked up and dropped somewhere before a new player spawns, will ghosts of this object be present, or would I need to update the state of the objects location by re-checking and updating the database, or is it easily done during run-time?

Found the answer to my second question... server keeps track of all objects and ghosts :) even if their location changes.

dynamically adding objects on the server is a-okay.
they'll get ghosted to clients as appropriate.
how many objects are you thinking ?

thanks Orion. Not sure yet, but may add them within a specified time gap, instead of all at once.

The rate at which you add them won't affect the networking behavior. Unless the whole dedicated server freezes for a while because you adding so many - in which case no packets will be sent or received until you're done.
