Hi Mark,
thank you. I will try the first solution. Best regards. Olaf Your second solution would amount to you creating a database in a database. It also means that on every request Firebird will have to retrieve the string as is, and then split that every time. I assume that using Firebird as a real database and storing the data in separate fields will yield better performance: you only need to split the data on storage time, not on each load. But if you want to know for certain: try both approaches and measure it, but then you could just as well use a flatfile to store this data instead of a database.
