Totally depends on the data in question.
I tend to organise my data in a mySQL database, for easy queries, sorting,
categorisation, etc etc. However sometimes I associate a file to a record
(eg a photo of a member or employee)... so the employee with the id 45 will
have a photo stored in the file
I am going to be dealing with a ton of data shortly and my goal is to make
it accessible via the web. I am curious about the performance differences
between using a database or leaving the data in the individual files they
originated in. Can anyone offer any recommendations?
