sqlite sounds like a good option - but I'm not sure it is needed. For
5000 records of 50 fields, that's not a scale of problem that
*requires*
any database. There may be other aspects of your problem that cause
you
to need a database (complex searches or sorting, maybe), but for many
purposes, the simple text file with CR + TAB delimiters should be
adequate.

I know there was a discussion on this topic about a year ago, when I
inquired about the necessity of using a formal database extension to
Rev vs. a text file vs. multiple substacks. I ended up going with
the substacks as in doing so multiple users could concurrently access
different records, and the data of the individual records (in this
case) did not need to be combined in any way. Would it have been
possible to allow multiuser access had I used a single text file
instead of multiple substacks?
At this point the question is academic, as the system I have in place
is working fine.
Thanks, Kurt
