If you regard xml as data storage, you are actually saying file system. XML as data is independant of data storage. File system as data storage has some shortcomings compared with database applications. You will not choose it unless you are sure file system fits to your needs. However you can use database applications for XML. Some databases like oracle and sql are being rapidly evolutionazed to support XML natively. Either you can use any databases like MS Access to store XML data, though without native support of XML. Even that may be better option than file system. -- Pohwan Han. Seoul. Have a nice day.
