Hi, I need to make a database of books. Several specific subject books that are to be searchable.
Is it viable to have the complete book text on a database and search inside it? Or should i consider keeping only its metadata (name, author, filename, etc) on the DB, keep the book file on the HD and use some sort of search algorithm on the file? If you agree on the second option, what would you guys suggest for text file searching? Its for a web project, so how could i go about doing this? (PHP, python...) Thanks. MV
