Guys,
a general question: what are the pros / cons of the two approaches described in the subject?
Say that I have a website with a
servlet, and say that each user can store on my server some infos (for example, an agenda).
Now, everyone seem to suggest that using some form of database is the approach to follow.
What's the bad point about using some plain files, stored somewhere within the servlet?
- is a performance issue?
- is a "bad practice" problem?
- if there are a lot of users, the database will deal with the situation better...
