Easily, and you'll get to meet my pet:



MySQL is the most efficient solution for writing/loading data to/from alternate sources, if you choose files then you'd have to ensure that your server host allowed proper FTP connections (relatively slow) or allowed access to the scriptfiles directory, then you'd need to load a file that retains a lot of unnecessary data to obtain the right information (slow, again) then echo it out.
