Hi,

I'm writing an ASP application which stores users' profiles. I have 3 choices for my data storage - text file, MS Access database or MySQL database.

Which one would you recommend?

Which one will have the best performance?

Performance wise it's always better to use database instead of flat text file to store your data. MySQL it's much better option than MS Access.



Cheers,
