Re: XML

Hmmn, yeah I've been playing with qconfig and the like, it's a bit over the 
top for what I'm trying to do, but usable.

Rik Hemsley suggested QDataStream which also has possibility...

I'm very much the perl/php + sql programmer and I get used to having a simple 
way of storing, accessing and searching data in an simply way.

select * from entries where date='20030505';

or whatever is rather easy to implement :)

I guess the biggest issue is that I was trying to avoid having to create large 
memory structures. For example if someone has 1000 entries in this program, 
than that 1000 instances of a class I have to implement,sort,save to and read 
from files blah blah. Which is going to chew ram. So alternatively I can 
leave it on disk and access each bit as I need, but then we're talking disk 
accesses for simple things like grabbing a list of every entry. 

If I'm willing to load a linked list or whatever into memory at startup well 
then QDataStream will probably be the most ecnomical way to go...
