Hi, just wondering about queryin or parsing a flat file db. i did a search in the forums, but didnt see anything...
anyways, the db is fairly large, and the lines of data are like this
company|COUNTRY|version|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|1111|222222|type
now the Country is Abbr to US or CA for example. also the xxx.xxx, incase you didnt know is an ip. also the length and values of 1111 & 2222 can vary from 0 to whatever. the 'company' 'version' & 'type are just different strings.
again its a pretty big DB, and ive got a bit of experience with PHP and mySQL DB's, but i dunno if this is the same or what?
can anyone tell me if theyve seen any tuts, or if you know how to query this type of db, etc..
thanks a bunch,
Allan
