Gidday all, A colleague and I were having a discussion re pros and cons of use of textfile to store data over a database. When would you use a database in preference to storing users in a textfile?
I have written a mailing list application in Perl that that has a double optin registration process, so I use two text files. When you first subscribe your name is written to list one when you complete the registration process your name is removed from List 1 and written to list two. This works fine and currently I have 200 subscribers, when do you think this will become unmanageable and would be better served by a traditional database?
