I'm not clear why you think that a database wouldn't be a good place to store 8000 products?
As for xml of that size, unless you read it once and then store it in memory, it will be extremely slower than using a db to query the information. On 3/14/07, Kevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think that I have asked this before…if so I must not have received and answer. I have an application that is booking reservations for various cruises. The cruise goes every day but each day has different times. There is not the ability to simply set up a table for mon, tues, wed, etc. with times. For example, in April, 15 of the days have the same time and the others all have different times. I was thinking that I would put this in an XML file rather than in the database. Anyone have any ideas how we would best achieve the flexibility of storing and serving all of these times? It seems that XMLParse is not real fast. One other thing to note….we have 8000 products….this is why I was thinking that we would not store all of this information in a database. Any help would be appreciated.
