At some point when I have a lot of free time, I might consider downloading all the data and storing it in a database, but I'd need a lot of free time to want to do that. I wouldn't take a long time, it's just not that useful. Of all the things I could do with my time, making my own database for all of this doesn't get that high on my list. ;) I'm not going to need to do fancy selects. Most records have no relationship to other records, and it's very easy to pull up a single record. I already get summary reports about total charges, etc, so I don't need that. Authorize.Net has the basic stuff covered. I just needed something a little different this time. If I did this in DBI, I would have taken a lot more time and had to write a lot more code. There's not a big gain there. The interesting stuff is already in my subscriber database. That's where I can do nifty things, should I get the time. That is a relational database. :) And I'm not attributing anything to malice: it's greed. :)
