Which is the best way for keeping the data in XML or SQL
server..and why?

Answer Posted / sathish

LIke on of our friend said, there are different perspective
to look at,

How the data is stored & how frequently it is modified?

XML - High risk and low cost
SQL - Low risk and Moderate cost

Does the data contains any relationship? for e.g. customer -
transcation - Account.........

XML does not support any relationship between data or Keys
etc.
SQL contains relationship, Constraints etc.

Does the data is used for just reporting?

XML can support straight forward scenario like say, show
the data for particular Acccount etc.
SQL supports more complex & real time business scenario.

How big is the data and how complex it is to maintain?

XML has the limitation, and the flexiblity depends upon the
amount of data
SQL will be flexible as well as accomdate amount of data
greater than XML

What kinda applicaiton uses the data?

XML can be parsed by many languages & compatible with
different platform
SQL can be used with the limitation of platform used i.e.
Microsoft Framework

At the moment, these are the things that came my way,
please correct me if i am wrong.
