Web database suggestions

[Chipp Walters]

Richard,

Considering putting a single text file for each record on your server. 
That way you won't have all the overhead of downloading the whole thing. 
Do your business logic (search sort etc) in the client. Have a single 
index file on the server with all the record .txt files.

Hope this makes sense.

best,

Chipp
