Hi all, To learn some jquery, I am writing some sort of chatbox. My questions is: what can I use best to store and retrieve the chat text?? Is it good to store the chat text in the database, or is it better to save it into a txt file? Ofcourse only new added chat lines will be taken and displayed underneeth the old ones.
If you don't have much chatters, a database option is ok, but when you ahve 1000 chatters (as an excample) trying to get new lines from the database every second (every second a check for new text is done and displayed if they are), the database will get slow. Then a txt file would be better? Or doesn't it realy matter what to choose? A txt file can get big too. Does anyone has some experience with this and what is the best approach: .txt or database? Kind regards,
