[thelist] Database vs. Flat file vs. XML

[Michiel Trimpe]

Hello John,

Once again, PERL rules!
Just use the DBD::AnyData module in conjunction with DBI to ... tadaa
use SQL statements to manage flat-file databases.

I wish there was a way to define a flat file as a 'table' and
select/update/insert rows from it through SQL statements...that would be
cool!

I've read something on this list about a similar thing for ASP but
that isn't my field.
