What is faster: read massive SQL table or read file?


Recommended Posts

I would like to make to make multiple chats, where every chat entry would be inserted into mysql table, each chat entry would have a coresponding ID to which chat it belongs, SO it would be many rows in this table. In other case a simple text file would only hold messages of specific chat.

 

My question: is it faster to search the sql table with very many entries or is it faster to read a text file (much smaller)?
