ajax update mysql database

[nuttynibbles]

hi, im doing a function whereby user is able to tag a pic.

everytime a user tag, i would store the data such as width, height, position and description into the temp database table. after the user have finally confirm the submission, i will extract this information and put into the final table.

however, this process will caused the server to work a little more. going back and forth.. is there a light weight mysql whereby the process require lesser work..

tks

I think that you should look into sessions instead of database for this kind of stuff. If you don't want to store the value for later use (user logging in again to see the same info or your statistics purpose) there is no reason to store temporary data i a database.
