Thanks for the feedback guys!

fzellinger:
The database and code will be on the same machine. Sorry for the broad criteria, I should have just put in the ceiling values. They could get very high which is where I needed the feedback.

My first thoughts were to use the system memory to load data file lines into a hash and load the DB records into an array (or visa versa) and check against each other. My hesitation on that was the memory load if the lists are large and more than one user runs this script

I like the idea in dumping the data files names into a table and querying against that!

I'll look into doing both solutions. If the data file and database isn't that large, I'll load it into memory with hashes, or I'll dump it into a table and query against it.

tilly, your approaches will take me a few days to process, maybe i could write a script to help me process your solutions quicker.. =o) great food for thought

Thanks again for the feedback!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
