Thanks for the reply. I had thought about using get/put URL if I continued to rely on txt files. I'll give it a try. But the reason I was thinking databases instead was the possibility of several users getting/putting information simultaneously thru the server. So, with this in mind, back onto the topic of databases... After looking around the RunRev archives, one unexpected thing came up. It seems that because licensing is an issue, some members have suggested PostgreSQL over MySQL, given the former's clearly stated (and free!) licensing policy. Another thing I learnt from the archives (and from experience with my current web host) is that connecting remotely to a database is not popular among web hosts. They seem to prefer online management. One web host that does allow remote access, and which is repeatedly recommended by Rev users is Dreamhost. But, their set up is only MySQL. So, my next question is, would anyone care to recommend a webhost that allows remote connections (via Rev, of course!) to a PostgreSQL database?
