Hello, I'm new in C#, so sorry my simple question:

I'm design a POS (Point Of Sale) where I have 3 DB's: Customers, Suppliers and Products.

To register one sale I need to select a Customer and as many Products they need.

Once a sale can have many itens, my question is: how is the best way to store the sale? Using a DB or using a text file for each sale with all itens?

Best Regards

Leo

Since you already have a database setup, why don't you just use that?

3DB's!? Really? Maybe 3 tables? What's the problem?
