Is it easy enought ? or should I go with SQL to beging with ? I hate to waste my time and efforts now, if I have to start from scratch later. Thank you for your imput.

If you anticipate that your database is going to be larger than 1 MG at any time in the future, it would be easier to upgrade sooner than later. In terms of upgrading, if you are familar with SQL/MySQL, then it will not be a big problem for you. The SQL version does use templates and you can use your Yahoo! template files with that version.

Hope this helps.

BTW: Search this forum for other Threads that discuss the advantages and disadvantages of SQL LINKS. It has been discussed MANY times before.
