Hello everyone

I have a huge complicated script that now needs a database.

My needs are very modest. A comma delineated file would probably be fine, but this script is going to be both reading and writing to it's tables. It's mostly when I have to start writing my data out that stuff gets ugly.

   How big are the tables?

   Can you read a CSV file into memory with mapfile, modify it in
   memory, then write the whole array back to disk?
