I dont think TAMINO will do the JOB! Tamino is too slow compared to Mysql or PosgreSql. and you will need a lot of disk space if you use Tamino. By the way I know this because we just migrate from Tamino to Posgresql and MySql...(and 1 more thing JSP and Java are only options you have if u use tamino). garry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hutchins, Richard" <Richard.Hutchins@GetingeCastle.com> To: "'Teemu Pentinsaari'" <Teemu.Pentinsaari@nomini.fi>; <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 10:54 PM Subject: RE: Fastest, easiest Flatfile DB with PHP > I've read the other posts and agree with them wholeheartedly - sounds like > you actually should investigate using some sort of relational db, MySQL or > otherwise. > > However, if there is some major reason you don't or can't use a relational > database, you may want to consider storing your flat files as XML and using > a native XML database to store and query those documents.
