Now please forgive me if i was out of place for posting this message here but this question is based on deisgn theory and not advance design and theory.
I would like to get opinions from the gurus here on wheather or not its a good idea to create databases for the use of sotring directory and filename information.
some times i find it rather unnecessary in a way because i can always use other means of retrieving or displayin info on directories. Yet the databases always makes it much much easier to use it for the purpose.
example...i am currently contemplating wheather or not to create a database to store directories created by users reason being i want to be able to retrieve a 'directory's description' created by the user to display. Now mind you i cud have just done a mere dir() function to retrieve that info written to a text file but we see the hassle here do we....i'm lackadical
you guys have done this before....what do you think..? is it really necessary for me to develop this project using database functions or should i stick to using file system functions....i see my self using both in the database scenario...complicated yet driven to the point.
