Re: [PHP-DB] Access a Flat File DB - How?
Risks are to share properly the data. You can never rely on the accuracy of data in the flat files as those could be changing at the same instance as your application is reading it. RDMS (not mySQL) can handle it under relational logic mechanisms, meaning they would not read the data that is currently being written and would not write the data that is currently being read. -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Crony [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote... : I have written a few small apps in PHP and MySQL.
