Hi, I've been searching high and low to find a good explanation of this with no luck...
What benefit does XML give over the standard non-CF database driven site? I am new to XML, but as I understand it XML's greatness is that it gives greater meaning to data, removing the visual presentation mark-up of html making the data more portable. In many ways, this seem to be doing the same thing that my "old" CF apps were doing, stuffing data into mySQL... In fact, many of the explanations of XML i've read, attempt to explain XML by comparing to the structure of a database... Each row of a database is made up of fields which describe the the data that they contain....just like XML... So, my question is how does XML relate to the database? thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction. ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
