Made a comparison of single-tiddler databases with existing interfaces (but without FormTiddlerPlugin):
1) TW syntax are the slowest rendering tables. If not too large they can conviniently be edited with [[EditableTable]] plugin along with [[TableScript]] (Scroll the example TW table down for the table edit button). 2) Html tables are rendered amazingly fast and cells can easily be edited with a TW wysiwyg plugin, like [[EasyEditPlugin]]. However, I don't think there is any TW tool which could query html tables. 3) Data tiddler stored in CSV format takes the least space or render time. With [[QuickEditPlugin]]'s [[QuickEdit_convert]] csv data tiddlers can be easily converted to TW tables or tab separated to be pasted into excel. 4) [[MathCell]] - which could use csv format straight for calculating spreadsheet tables - sadly has lost its calculation abilities with a later TW upgrade. 5) Now [[DataTiddlerPlugin]] formated [[DataDbPlugin]]'s panel easily beats them all. Since it includes 'form -', 'query -','shema -', 'help -' and 'tools view' - with which data can be entered in forms, queried, sorted, deleted, exported to csv or html, and imported from csv. Though DataTiddler's format makes almost double the tiddler size, compared to csv - since it imports csv tiddlers that easily this can be avoided too. 6) [[GridPlugin]] being able to collect and edit data from many different tiddlers (fields, slices, sections) just gets too sluggish with too many data entries.
