Now a question I would like to ask: do you *need* to read the whole CSV info into memory? There are ways to overcome this. For example, looking at your data I suppose you might want to look for specific IDs, in that case it would be much more efficient to read one line at a time and check if it's the correct one. Otherwise you might want to make the move th a relational database, this is the kind of thing RDMSes excel at. Just some tips. -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
