I have a VB program that will be generating alot of raw data.<br />
For example.. it will be running a battery test, and I will be logging about 100 single precision values 4 times per second for several days... <br />
I started by just adding records to and Access database, but it appears that could get very large.. and maybe slow down??<br />
<br />
Is using a text file faster than Access? Does it take more or less memory to store the same amount of data?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

fastest or most efficient way to store lots of data

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
