If I'm not going to be saving data into an SQL database, where should I be saving it? <p>I'm making an encyclopedia program of sorts similar to RAWR for World of Warcraft. I'm not going to be saving data de an SQL database, but I've been conditioned so hard to always do this when I'm sure there are alternatives for these lighter case uses.</p> <p>For example, my program will have no creation of new data via user input, nor deletion of data via user input. Just a program that will display information that I code into it. Nothing more, nothing less.</p> <p>Where should I save these things? By save I mean, store them for deployment when I release the program.</p> <p>I'm mostly going to be saving just string variables and some videos/animation (<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910609/what-file-type-do-you-recommend-i-use-for-playing-a-really-small-video">see my other question</a>)</p> <p>Thanks for the help SO. As always, you guys rock!</p>
