Hello!

I am looking for an efficient way of storing large amounts of data in
mysql, so that it is quick to access and efficient in store. Im using
PHP.

One idea I am playing with, is parsing (deserializing) the elements
and saving the DOMElements (in their binary existience) as BLOBS to be
retrieved and parsed for different type of contained data when
necessary.

One danger I see is that in this way I am "bound" to a platform. I
guess Java or Perl programs on the same platform, or even PHP program
on a different platform, will not be able to utilize the data (is this
really the case, BTW?).

The question is: is it really as efficient as I imagine it to be?
could the efficiency outweigh the disadvantages?

The alternative is to store the XML element as a serialized string,
deserialize it at retrieve time, and analyzing / extracting /
modifying before re-storing as a string.

Any experience / know-how out there?

Thanks a lot!

Michael
