I agree with Rob. Flat file better than database. Because it is simple.

I have to agree with you there rob. The one advantage that databases offer over flat files is handling deadlocks. But deadlocks only occur in the most active of blogs. For a personal blog, it is highly unlikely. Persons may post a message every once in a while but not at the very same second as another user is attempting to. Consequently, for every day use of a personal blog a flat file is just as functional if not faster than a db. For one thing, you require fewer resources to execute a flat file. And, considering that for some webserver services, a database costs extra, a non db system to me is more economical. Can a database system say the same?

Common misconception that flat files are somehow ‘worse’ on larger sites – this is wrong and you’re helping spread this lie. In some cases flat files outperform mysql overhead. If you are simply grabbing plain chunks of text data over and over, and only one or few people update it, and there are no complex searches required on the data set (so not for e-commerce sites, wikis, etc etc, but blogs are a shining example here), flat files can actually be a better solution than mysql. Add to that the ease of backing the entire site plus data up, or being able to migrate simply and easily within seconds, flat files are an overlooked and mistreated alternative to overkill like a db.

[...] Flatpress is like Wordpress running on flat files. It’s an interesting idea, and one that could be easily extended to Wordpress. [...]
