Are _you_ (base on your skills) more comfortable reading and writing

Are you likely to do any "fancy" queries on the data?

I am sorry ,but i am totally new in either reading and writing text files or
storing to and querying a database .
I just started with some a project

Then I recommend sticking with text files, at least for now. But make
sure you understand the implications of UNICODE first. Otherwise, you
will likely waste many hours debugging strange symptoms. You should
also know about the byte order marker (BOM); for more info, use google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
bom
in this newsgroup. I just did, and got 16 hits. I took a quick look
and am quite sure at least some are useful.

Good luck.
