Generally What is Better - Plain Text Database or Mysql Database?
 

on Speed, Performance, Reliability ect....

seriously?

erm... yes :)
Was this a dumb question? lol
I'm guessing MySQL ?

MySQL of course but if you've got serious traffic you'll need a serious server.

I'm the oldest newbie you'll ever meet hehe

Mysql....fooo shooo

Thank you,
You have just made my will :winkwink:

Keep it real bro.... :)

Depends on what your doing, for anything complex, go with mysql, if you need more features than mysql offers, go with postgres.

definately mysql, i wont use text DB for anything

use the adodb class: http://php.weblogs.com/adodb together with mysql ..

it comes with a very good caching function ..

use plain textfiles created out of the database by a cronjob if you have a real heavy visited site .. the serialize/unserialize command might fit your needs to use the results in variables ..
