Changing from MySQL to Flat file
How hard is it to change a script from using mysql to a flat file database? Would this be a simple change or a rewrite of the entire code?

Can't never could do nothing till he whupped old couldn't till he could...

It would be a re-write...since you would have change all SQL functions (like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) to open, write to, delete from, and close database files.
