Hi Markwaitling, I think serialization and unserialization is better when you compare resource mgt and time. Using the database first you have to consider read/write, secondly resource consumption on to/fro database, ideally whatever you have in your database that has already been validated should not be sent back to the db except for comparison. Hope this helps.
