 Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2006 12:20 am Post subject: use .ini file for database? |
 |
|
Hi everyone!
I need to create a database for simple short lines of text.
It will have maybe 200 entries maximum.
Would a .ini file be ok to use for this much data?
What are the limits to .ini?
(I understand how to use .ini with AHK)
...thanks

64KB...
This isn't very big, you better put that in a simple text file, read it in memory and process it from there.

Thanks PhiLho,
I suppose I could manage that.
Would using multiple .ini's possibly be better?

Well, .ini seems like a bit obsolete for me, except for some uses (saving settings). It was made for that anyway, abusing it to do something else is prone to problems due to limitations of its format.
And I don't see why several .ini files could be better!
