I want to say that if the data of 5 tables (50 record each) will keep in diffnt xml files..and will show in html..and instead of using database i will directly write data in to xml files..is it a good architecture to work...

All depends on your needs, doesn't it?

Will there be concurrent users? How would you handle those concurrent users at the same time? Through file locking? How often are the files expected to be changed?
