in thread When is a flat file DB not enough?

I figured the filesize would be the key. This is all running on a solaris setup that handles files far bigger than mine, but I think it can handle a couple hundred items at best before the search and editing times start to get noticible. Thanks for the response! =)

    Don't think solaris is so easy with large files. Sure it can handle them, but the I/O bandwith may bite you!!!

    Linux is better with that kinda thing...
