Re: Text database instead of MySql (Recommendations / Advise also welcome)

Hey, > A text db is never going to be as fast as a relational db. I know ...but I have no choice, no MySql or any other database installed on the server. > Why can't you use a database (I assume there was some sort of technical reason) ? Load / resources basically, its a bunch of load balanced servers that take millions of hits per day. They actually have two types of servers: The preview servers (which i am allowed to play in) which has php installed (for a few clients I have to add) and the content servers which have nothing but static files, no cgi/php and no DBs of course. I cant change hosts and I have to work with whats there, I cant ask for anything to be installed....thats the deal I thought of doing some fancy hacks with php using includes and text files etc but in the end I see that I need a database, or a kind of "database thingy"...hence the text file db.
