    sql database v. COBOL indexed files

    Thanks, Tom, >What is your performance metric? < I don't have one, other than 'Does it work sufficiently fast?', which it does. To be frank, I don't know enough about how to measure performance, or estimate the effects of an increase in traffic - other than by testing and trying to simulate...
