preferable not to directly access the information, they would prefer that the
information is dumped nightly to something else (text file or another database)
and then accessed that way. I thought that a text file would be the easier
option, given the smaller size and ease of maintenance. <br>
<br>
@Brad, this sounds like the kinda of thing that I want to do. Doing it this way
will I be able to build some sort of interface that allows users to search and
display the markers that they want?<br>

You have a great resource of examples here:<br>

Check the markersTextLayer.html example to have an example of a layer<br>
that comes from a csv file.<br>

There's also use gml (see the gml-layer.html) if you prefer xml files.<br>
