Hi Thomas, I was under the impression that xml was more structured so you could query it easily using xPath or parse it using xerces or a similar utility.
Plus, how would you validate your text file? You could compare the xml with the xsd and validate the xml source quickly.

A flat database is basically nothing more than a text file with info separated by commas, and that is easy enough to implement if I wanted to. Smile.
