Re: do I need a database

How about XML ? But seriously flat files or databases would be better if this is a simple set up. If you plan to do a lot of writing and very little reading flat files are a hell of a lot of faster. If you use flatfiles though you have to forget about searching through it (unless you plan to write a few thousand lines of code). Sudheer Palaparambil wrote:

Hi, I am planning a static site. But I need to capture some data (username, address, telephone and email only), do I need a database for recording this data ? Or is there any other way to record this data ? The volume may be high. Thank you.
