One other thing to note. I would go to the cruise and review the times. So I would not need all of the products in one file. Each product would have their own xml file.....

I just figured I didnt quite understand his needs. XML is extremely verbose. Putting that many products with all your hours and days into XML will result in a huge file. Large datasets is exactly what databases are for. Maybe you need to be more clear about your logic in thinking XML is a better choice. I may just not be getting it.

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.
