It's sounding more and more like a CSV Document is the way to go for this project.
Basically, the end result is going to be a CGI script I could either send a model number to, or maybe a manufacterer and have it return all the equipment that matched it, I'm sure you get where I'm going with this.
But is a CSV document with roughly 5,000 pieces of equipment, each with possibly 5 fields attached, going to cause a major Server bottle neck? And if it does, might there be a better way to get around it.
