I've updated the title: from DBI or Flat Files, Which is faster
I am working with user inputs and retrieving them for later use. Hopefully there will be lots of inputs to come, but as you may know, speed will decrease as requests increase. I want to start out by going the fastest route before it gets too late. Any suggestions on this?

Also, is there a limit on how many scripts can access the same SQL or the same File.txt?

Thank you in advance... JayBee

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
