Setting up a MySQL database is a bit complex as compared to
holding data in CSV files. Using CSV files is extremely
easy and is faster too provided your data in the database
is around one GB. It maybe stated that most websites
needing a database can better meet their requirement with
the simpler CSV file.

And, to cap it all, there are a few sites where you can
get help to set up your design script to handle the data
with a perl script. A good website to generate online such
scripts for operating on CSV files holding data is
http://www.dbperl.com. Not just the script to operate on
your CSV files (add, edit, delete and search functions),
you also get html pages for these four functions. What
is even better is that you can enter a brief dummy data,
test your script online before downloading it.

So, if you need a custom script to work on a database
likely to be around 1 GB (most fall in this category),
visit http://www.dbperl.com. Here, once you have defined
your fields and criteria, the scripts and html pages are
ready to download in under 2 minutes.

Good Luck!
