XML versus mysql
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 4:55 am
Hi
I am planning to set up a search facility on my site which queries a datastore - all very simple stuff, however I wondered the advantages/disadvantages of storing this data as XMl rather then in a mysql database.
The datastore could have a couple of thousand entries and this search facility may be rolled out over other sites hence why I am thinking about using xml.
However my knowlege of this is quite miniaml, I just wondered if anyone has any thoughts and any good sites where I could read up on this subject.
Thanks in advance
