thanks for your insight. Well the idea is to make a small offline "bank/ cash register"? (where you can create an invoice per client each time he/she buys something.) So basically for my project i could use the DB method but if i ever want to make it for a big client that has > 1000 products and that productlist changes once a day or less, than i think generating a list is more performant. BUT you have a good point at the computerspecs, i did not take that in consideration !
No it is not the answer that i was looking for, but it still gave me insight on an other topic so thanks for the advice and for taking the time :) I will look into the url you posted first thing tomorrow !
