macromedia flash sitedesign : DataGrids

Good Morning All,
In the application I'm developing the customer needs to enter a valid Voucher
Number in order to be able to proceed with their transaction. While most will
complete their transaction there and then, some will (for whatever reason)
cancel out of the process, to return at a later date/time. I consequently need
to develop a small database to hold these 'cancelled' Voucher Numbers for
future reference.
We do not envisage the number of cancelled Voucher Numbers being to large. I
was intent on developing a small SQL Server DB to hold these Voucher Numbers
but as I was reading yesterday, I had a thought that I might be able to use the
DataGrid object as a small built-in database in my application.
Can someone out there in Flash world please tell me if this is possible at
all? Can I use the DataGrid (off screen) as a small built-in database?
As always any help, guidance or words of wisdom are much appreciated. Thanks.

datagrid doesn't help with serverside storage. If you want to keep it simple
use a little PHP or similar to create basic text file or XML file to hold your
variables on the server. Otherwise a database would be a sensible way to deal
with it - guess it depends on what you feel happiest with.
