Quote: When your data is only a series of simple records, storing those records in a flat text file may be the easiest way to go. However, it is slower than a real database, and may lead to data corruption if you are not really careful.

IMO it depends on the amount of data needing to be loaded and whether that data needs to be dynamic.
