G'day Jacqueline,
With that much data, a SQL database is better. For smaller databases, you
can create one card per record and use the "mark" command to flag the
cards that match. For example:
<snip helpfule pseudo code>
Then you loop through the marked cards to get the information you want.
This isn't as fast as a dedicated database but is often good enough for
small data sets. You can use any variation of the "find" command (find
string, find words, find whole, etc.) to mark the cards. This way you
don't need to loop through all the cards. When you are done, unmark all
cards.
Yes indeed and it's one of the things that I really like about the
stack/card paradigm. I have no doubt how I will have to handle the final
data but it's fascinating to read peoples musings on Rev stack handling.
