Flat File Database
« on: October 20, 2002, 10:10:09 PM »
Feature request for Flat File database.

This is a huge request but with the large number of people using free hosted and cheaply hosted webservers it would be very useful.

I installed 4images on lycos.co.uk just for fun to try it out but on weekends like this their MySQL server is so overloaded it can take 10 minutes to load pages that contain database content. If they can connect to the MySQL server at all.

Or you can move to a real  8O hosting provider and have access to a real mySQL database!   :D

There are many cheap, read affordable or inexpensive, web hosting providers out there that can handle 4images database operations lightning fast.  Quite frankly, in my opinion as a programmer, you're not likely to see this request get taken up by the 4images authors.

I have my own so its not an issue for me. I'm saying for the average school or college kid that this would make the program run faster on these free and cheaply hosted sites.

But geez thanks for the creative suggestion!
