[thelist] to database or not

[Peter Kaulback]

I'm setting up an ecommerce site for the first time using a shopping cart 
from an established ASP.  Now I'm curious if running the store from a 
database would be more beneficial to the overall handling or what?  I don't 
run database driven sites at all and I know the ASP allows for some 
databases to be installed.  But I would like to cover as many options 
before falling all the way down the rabbit hole.
