for language files...

is there anything against putting them in an sql database, or it is better to leave them as include files? regarding the speed of loading on server or so.
 
Thank you.

I was looking at a way of doing that too but decided that if I do, I would write the contents to a static include for performs. With all the database hits (assuming you're talking about the forum), adding another with long strings would be backing up. The other option that I am considering is an application variable that would update on change.
 
It's a good idea, but personally, I avoid the database calls as much as possible.
