Just kidding about the rock stars but thought it might get some attention. But I do have a question. I have read all about the databases and really don't care which one is better or more efficient and so on, what I want to know and have always wanted to ask: If you have a simple program that needs to store data, what is the data size cut off that it is more efficient to use a database or just serialize to files (xml or other)?
I have tested xml files holding as many as 10,000 elements, and have not noticed much of a delay putting same elements in database tables. I have tried several different approaches and tried to complicate the tables and queries and didn't see much difference in performance.
Has anybody ever done any load testing or any research on what would be the cutoff point on data size, or evaluated the overhead over XML or a Database?
I also know that there is a lot of support for working with databases and cloud storage which simplifies the DAL & LOB data access and storage, but it also leaves a large footprint on your device for something where the data load might not be so large as to warrant such a large footprint, such as mobile devices. Or does it? I don't know that's why I am asking.
Please enlighten me on the subject.
The difference between a question and a stupid question depends on who you ask to answer it!

I think you that be looking for a silver bullet number when the decision is based on a range of factors. I would place platform as the first criteria and would consider xml for mobile.
Complexity of the data structure would be the next criteria, 3-5 small tables and I might use XML (unlikely as I am very database centric) much more than that and I would not even consider xml.
As for volume of data, it would probably not even come into the equation.
This discussion should also probably not be in the Lounge, expect some left field answers!

Yeah, it's pretty hard to JOIN their RANKS!

Indeed, a GROUP HAVING few members.
I'd INSERT myself in the ranks, but I am not worthy to JOIN...

It looks as I am BETWEEN monsters, WHERE was my head when I decided to JOIN? I'm about to DROP the USE of this GROUP BY heaven's sake!

Try using the KEY (the whole key, and nothing but the key)

He could try, but he is not the right CANDIDATE to have the KEY.

If you're not clever enough to join the RANKs[^], you could try the DENSE_RANKs[^].

Yup, and we hang out in HEAPs and CLUSTERS.
