i have one table with 3.2 million rows that gets accessed approximately
6,000-7,000 times a day. i should put that in the registry?

your comment VERY MUCH depends on the kind of "app" you're talking about. ok
so IIS stores info there. ms office stores info there. but we're talking
about web-based applications which could create LARGE amounts of data. why
would you EVER purposefully tax your registry (which is used by many other
VERY critical processes) with READ/WRITE/DELETE operations when databases
are designed to handle that?

I disagree.  The registry has replaced .ini files.  The registry is a
perfect repositry to store data for your app like DSN'S etc as ini files
used to.

i don't think I'd classify the windows registry as a database.  Yes, it
stores data, but so do text files...I wouldn't refer to a text file as a
database.  The registry isn't designed to be read from and written to,
frequently... it's designed for "access - as - needed" use.

Wouldn't haver thought it makes a difference.  You either have to put them
in a db or the registry....which is a db in itself!

I suppose that depends on what you are putting in them ;)
