@jmort253 I want a second opinion on that. It seems too unfocused and rough to me still.

Yeah my thoughts exactly, I was about to suggest it be broken up
there's like 2 or 3 really good focused questions in there, starting with "If I have 5 columns and 100 rows in one table, do I need a database, or is another data storage technique more appropriate?" With a litany of statistics about the environment; like number of users, network latency
I have half a mind to write that question myself on P.SE and then just link PhilJFry to it, there would be some great answers

Basically it just boils down to "At what point do I need a database?"

@WorldEngineer that would be wayy to broad though, his specific question is more of a "Given these constraints, what type of persistence technology should I use?" Which is very different because the standard RDBMS is but one persistence technology

yeah

(and I would actually not suggest it for him)
I have half a mind he's got static data, at which point it could go into an XML file
