David Livingstone asks for advice on creating XML pages from a database, particularly on how the data should be stored, as tables of data or as marked-up text. It really depends on how you intend to use the data, and what your processing load is. For example, if you want to access the data from a variety of angles, with transactional protection, and a heavy workload, then you need a database and you need to store the data relationally. If you only need to retrieve the marked up text, then you could store that as string fields in a database. Or you can take a hybrid approach, with some parts accessible relationally and others stored as marked-up text. (For some good examples of the latter approach, see the excellent slide show Oracle marketing has prepared at http://www.oracle.com/xml/.) --Andrew Layman xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
