you have need for the facilities supplied by the database? Simple is always better. The idea of storing simple non-variant computational data structures in XML is bizarre.
Simply because I mentioned capabilities of a library to serialize data in xml format does *NOT* in a any way mean that I propose to use this capability for storing data in sqlite blobs (and that would be bizzare, as you said ;). It was mentioned just because it showed you visual results of serializing a simple structure. I could as well copy-past 8 bytes, result of using binary archive, but that wouldn't be too descriptive.
