Yep, that's how I planned it. Previously I've mostly used text files to 
hold data, but it becomes a bit tricky when you've got several users 
that might write to the data at the same time (= lots of text files + 
some code to try to prevent it in order to minimize the risk). I've 
managed to work around it so far but I hope this will be a better 
solution in the end.
