Question from a beginner: I want to associate a fairly small amount of
text (about 2500 chars) with records in a MySQL table, and display that
as html. But is it more efficient to include the text in the database
(in the appropriate text field type) and generate the html on the fly,
or to just put a link in the data base field to a pre-composed html
page?
Hope the question is clear. Many thanks
