XML vs MySQL
Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2007 6:05 am
Hi,
I am embarking on a mission to create statistics for a sales database. I am currently using PHP to extract data from the DB, manipulate the array, then create a XML file for graphing purposes. This method seems rather slow.
My question is, would outputting all 'related' data to XML then manipulate then graph be more efficient?
Has anyone done this kind of thing before? Any experiences you may want to share?
Many thanks,
Will.
