[dokuwiki] Re: Help with best way to enter data into dokuwiki

Tony,

I big is that list?  I gave up at 2500 rows.

I would strongly recommend using a proper database rather than a wiki.

If you're making data freely available, the excellent Dabble DB
provides a free service.
http://www.dabbledb.com/commons/

Dabble provides lots of features for filtering and searching the data.
It also has a strong set of import tools.
