In AP2, what's different with db and textfile?

I'm new to the world of php and mysql, so please bear with me as I ask the difference.

I want to make sure that I install and use the correct version for Advanced Poll, and I couldn't seem to locate any type of help or readme file that indicated the difference with the two folders.

Thanks.

Hi,
uhm... if you have a database, such as MySQL, then you should use the database one. If you don't know, or don't have a database, you should use the textfile one. There isnt really a big difference, its just that the textfile just uses a flat plain textfile to store its data in...
Hope that helped..
