Restored from previous forum. Originally posted by effigy.
I am writing a program in which I will need to store Large amounts of
data in a file. This data will consist of everything from simple text
to full binary files (encoded as in a email transfer).
I am debating what type of file to use to store this, here are a few of
my ideas and concernes:
1. I must be able to encrypt the file
2. I must be able to compress the file
3. The file must have quick access of reading functionality
This file could easily grow beyond 300mb.
I had a few ideas for what to use, but I'm not sure which would make
the most sense.
1. XML file
2. Binary file
3. ODBC Database
I'm probably most comfortable in creating an odbc database.
I would love to hear your opinions.
Thanks so Much!
