I am building a website that has hundreds of thousands of items listed. Each item will have it's own page with the exact same layout, so I plan to design a basic template that has information dynamically built based on each unique item. I have experience with many languages but never touched website building outside of very basic HTML and CSS. The number of items I am using reaches hundreds of thousands. I know Java very well, and have hoped maybe storing the items in a text file which is searched by Javascript to find the item and display the information dynamically. From what I understand, that is not as efficient of a SQL database, but is it that much more drastic of a difference? As I said I am new to this, and I am a student doing this on the side with a regular job so the smaller the learning curve the better even if it means some sacrifice now. Thanks.
Which is better for me PHP/mySQL or Javascript? [closed]
