Hello,

I am taking over a site that was on a M$ server and redoing the Guest book and form 
pages
in PERL.  Question I have is the design of database.

I have the following fields:  Name varchar(80) 
                                        Date  date
                                        email  varchar(100)
                                        comments varchar(100)
                                        
Should I be writing the comments (text of ~600 characters) or a 'path'  
to a file that holds the text.   If I do the later and I have say 20 entries per page.
That is 20 disk reads to create the page.html.  Am I on the right `path`  :)

Thanks
