MySQL Versus Flat Files


Cless

Recommended Posts

Mysql uses compiled code to performs database operations on the files that it uses to hold your data. Using some slow parsed/tokenized/interpreted php code to perform operations on the contents of a file yourself will be at least 20 times slower.

I disagree, Flat files can be fast and efficient means of storing info.

 

Caches are usually based on flat file designs, as well as the popular subset of SQL known as SQLite. And hands down it beats MySQL.

 

So YES, ya can move some of the data into a flat file schema and improve performance. But as with any DB, Design for optimized usage.
