In a standard database, the data and metadata are stored separately, not so with XML. When the next new "latest and greatest" thing comes along, you'll have to strip all that metadata out of your data. It also makes for bigger databases, and a lot more wasted space, like comparing normalized and unnormailzed tables. sql,query --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
