    Default Why use a database?

    I'm curious as to why one would use a database like mysql (or any other DB) over flash extracting information from a text file. (exceptions: password protection and search fields)

    Thank you.

    Default Re: Why use a database?

    I just created an events application that uses a Flash calendar and
    integrates with ASP to produce XML on the fly to be used by Flash. I did it
    this way so the client could hold the vast number of city events in a
    database and I could easily create insert, update and delete pages to
    provide a simple tool for them to input the events themselves.
