Where should I display or store data that is imported from a file?
<p>When I do an import of data from a file, such as csv or text file, I would like to display on a summary page （table view) about what is going to be imported to the database, and user can select or deselect what will be imported into the database. I would like to find out what is the best way of temporary storing these data to be displayed onto the summary page?</p>

<p>To give a clearer understanding about what i am talking about, for example: </p>

<ul>
<li>I have a csv file that holds a list of products. </li>
<li>I would do an importation to read the csv file and display onto a summary page with
table view and checkboxes to select/deselect some of the data.</li>
<li>After the selection, I would click the confirm button to store those checked data</li>
</ul>

<p>So between the process of getting the csv data to the summary page for display, where should I store the data, in the database as a tbl_temp data and clean off when done, or just read directly from the csv file?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
