Can anyone tell me if XML is robust enough and fast enough to replace the everyday use of a active Database? I have seemed to misplace my Access 2002 CD and I just formatted my H/D so I'm without any way to create a database at the moment so I was thinking maybe I can use xml for the time being.
Can xml support key searches? and things like that? I haven't messed with it much..
No. XML is too slow to be used as a database.
You can use free Microsoft Data Engine, which is a watered down SQL.
hmm, where might I find out more about the free MS Data Engine?Quote:

Thanks..
It should be on your VS.NET/VB.NET cd's.
Ok thanks... Does it have a GUI editor?
No. But I think there are some free ones around the internet you will have to search around for.
