    Ok so I need suggestions on how to handle a set of data that has over 260,000 individual values in it. I don't need to do anything really fancy with it. Basically the hang-up is how to store it, and in what format. The world's largest array? or a db? Also ideas as to how to actually go about doing it, obviously it will need to be automated. Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Any regular db (MySQL) can handle that amount of data easily on decent sized hardware. However, there are several factors you'll have to consider -
    1. Is the data static?
    2. Is the size fixed?
    3. Overall operations you will perform [updating values, adding/deleting values etc.]
    4. Desired speed of access
    I'm curious to know if something like Access can be used. Never used it myself.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
