Hi, MySQL, being a relational database (quiet, you guys from other camps), is good at storing relational data.
To store purely XML data, you may be better off using an XML database e.g. Tomino from Software AG. The line is a fine one, though. If your XML is purely a representation of relational data, you may like to look at mysql -X in the latest client, which, I believe, will produce the results in XML - I haven't tried this.

Does anyone have advice on the best way in which to import so many files or any advice on storage structure.
