I wrote a database with over 40,000 records, and for that one I loaded
a text file into RAM and then used a 1-card display stack to show the
desired record. This method requires that you write all your own
navigation and search handlers, but it was about as fast as HC when I
was done.
Was this on a Windows box though? My experience with large text files
on Windows has been that it can really choke. IIRC this is different
under *nix style OS'.
Mac OS X. It was very fast loading the text file. But each record was
fairly small, so 40,000 of them wasn't as large as one might think. It
was measured in megs rather than gigs, but I don't remember exactly how
big it was.
