To SQL or Not To SQL: The Question for Litigation Support Databases



http://ow.ly/abtAM

An article by Richard Ruyle, posted on the Legal IT Professionals website.

This article examines some of the differences between a SQL database and a Flat-File database system, and provides some insight into which might be better for specific situations.

The article states, "Both SQL and file based systems are affected by data storage speed and capability. SQL Server is a fantastic and sometimes amazing solution; but if the requirements do not dictate the need, then a quality file based database is a much better choice, eliminating the complexity and the need for specialized hardware and personnel while performing equally as well. A decision should be based on features, technology, and the company that created the application instead of just the platform or data structure."
