The biggest problem with the database back end is users' misconception that its use implies database functionality. They think it will allow them to perform database actions on the data set, as well as have multiple users simultaneously. As you know, neither of these is true at this time. David

I don't know whether there have been any significant sql related bugs since then. Even if not, then it cannot be denied that the xml backend has had vastly more use than the sql backend. Certainly anyone using a db should make sure they take regular backups of the db (which can be trickier than just copying the xml file).
