I once came across a cms that do not use sql databse but stored the pages in plain html.But unfortunately I have loss the url and just cannot find it through google.
Can someone help?
Check with Hotscripts. It has a good list of scripts both free and commercial where you can find your desired CMS script which does not require any database.
Yes, I usually find my free scripts through hot scripts as well.
But just a word of caution. In the beginning, I figured it was easier to use a database that was not SQL. In fact, I ran sites with cgi and others but after a while if the database is too big, it starts to bog down and runs slower.
It is much preferred to have a database driven CMS than a purely HTML CMS. For one, access time for pages is much faster. This is true if you search contents posted on your site. Moreover it is much easier to extract specific information for back up purposes.
Pure SEO CMS (google the name) has an local XML database but creates real html (or other) pages.
Database driven, html CMSs are available and offer may advantages over online SQL versions apart from the fact that anyone (including hackers) can get to the database.
Because they are PC based they tend to be faster, more reliable and easier to set up. You can also create lots of sites from one install.
I'd recommend you use both online and PC based CMS solutions depending on which is most appropriate for the site. We find PC based is better for most small businesses.
