Need advice for storing mixed data.

phl
Hi,

I am working on a website which will display images, sections of text,
some links and maybe some contents within tables etc. The data will be
got from various xml feeds. I might get one XML files which contains
all the info I need to display, I am not quite sure how it's going to
be yet. So I will read from xml file, create objects, maybe cache them
and display in front end this way.

Now user will be allowed to update information I have displayed. Has
anyone done this sort of thing before? What would be the best way to
store the data after user has updated content? WOuld it be best to keep
things in XML or would something like SQL be less work?

THanks

it will depend on volume of data. if only a couple 100 objects then xml
is file, but as its gets larger parsing and navigating the xml will get
expensive.

I've been bad about documentation so far but I'm going to try to be better. I've mostly worked alone so I'm the only one, so far, who's suffered from my bad habits. But I'd like other programmers to have an easier time understanding what I do. Therefore this weekend I'm going to spend 3 days just writing comments. Before I do it, I thought I'd ask other programmers what information they find useful. Below is a typical class I've...

Hi, I am trying to build a tool that analyzes stock data. Therefore I am going to download and store quite a vast amount of it. Just for a general number - assuming there are about 7000 listed stocks on the two major markets plus some extras, 255 tradying days a year for 20 years, that is about 36 million entries. Obviously a database is a logical choice for that. However I've never used one, nor do I know what benefits I would get...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
