I am backing up TextBox entries every 20 seconds. I am looking for the best place to save the text. The database that I am using is SQL Server CE 3.5.
Thanks in advance.
XML Files approach is:
* Easier for you to use in your current application.
* do not require you to store data redundantly
* can be accessed via standard XML APIs
* Data is universally understandable and portable
* Slow and memory hungry
* do not allow advanced locking, synchronization and concurrency control
* do not have any support for transactions
Database approach is:
* Relatively complex to use in your current application.
* Data will have to be retrieved from XML files anyway
* You can use standard SQL with powerful querying facilities.
* Data retrieval is very fast
* advanced locking, synchronization and concurrency control mechanisms available
* Transactions allow you better control and reliability.
