Hmm. I did intend to use a database, specifically MySQL was my thinking. What I hoped was there would be a web interface to query the database and so everyone would not have to have MySQL to use it. Of course it needs to be hosted somewhere but I figured I'd cross that bridge when it became a problem. :) The move from flat file to SQL could be done with one 'mysqlimport command so right now I'll focus on gathering the information and placing it in a flat file. The question then will be how to query it, but I suppose it's best to deal with one problem at a time.
