Xml files as backend database question?

[struts Dude]

Hi,
Just want some thought on this question.
Nobody in their right mind wud use xml files as backend database in 
production system right?

I ask this because I was wandering whether one can get away with a DB in a 
production site.

Well, I rememebered reading some discussion of
how someone read in 3-5MB of xml files into memory
as database when application starts for production but
that's rare practice and not sensible I assume.
Synchronizing data wud have been enough of a headache I think.
Thanks
