Flat File Vs Database

[damps]

My customer is interested in improving their web site calendar. Easy PHP Calendar looks like a candidate. I see Flat File and MySQL database. What are the pros and cons of each? I see that I can start with flat file and migrate to db later. Is there any reason to start with db? Just trying to figure out my recomendation. Thanks. Andy

First, it's not a built-in function to convert between database types. You should start with mySQL if given the option. There's less overhead to display the calendar when using mySQL.
