Databases VS. textfile

[fima]

Hi,
I'm planning to create an application that uses info stored nowdays on
textfile and the info is sorted like a table in the text file and but that I
mean it has
rows and columns(separated by commas).

for example-

16,23,6,31,10,18,3,53500,1,0,0,53500,0,0,10,10,40,2.5,9.5,126,4,4

what is better continuing as the old version did of the program that used
text file as the method to store the info or move it up to a databse storage
using a table?

That all depends on how you need to use the data.

Tom is right, depends on use. But, personally, I prefer on databases. With
columns will be more compreensive than that your string sample, and you can
share the information amoung the connectect users.
