Hi all,
I'm trying to get my head around using java!
I've used python a few times but only in a really dirty sort of a way.....
Other than that all of my programming for the last 20 odd years has been mpasm so be gentle.
I've moved my asm from absolute and procedural to a more 'object' sort of programming so am think in a more oo way than I used.
That's the background here's the question, I've used SQL lite in the past to create database of sheep parentage to avoid inbreeding etc. I want to be able to handle more information about my animals, say for example milk production in the cows, weight gain for young stock .
This ends up as a lot of data, ie, twice a day for a cow in milk, its easy to save this data in a text file.
Is the best way to save it in a database to save the name of the text file and use this to point the program to the text file?
Or is there a better way, maybe save a list as a database entry?
I'm using java as I want ultimately to write a android app to handle this (my android book says everything in android is saved in a database...)
Thanks Geoff
