Whether using XML database for data storage is safe enough?
because I wanted to branch using an XML database and then she sends the data to the center. and then the data is in process at the center and then incorporated into the database server

1) There is no such thing as XML Database.... XML is a format, usually stored as a file. It is NOT a database.
2) What do you mean by "safe enough"? Are you talking about security or what? Your question has no meaning. The security of the data is irrelevant to XML. XML is just plain text with special markup tags to give the data meaning. In of itself, XML has no security context, therefore it is inherently not "safe". But I'm not sure what you're looking for.

tg is correct. If you ARE concerned about security, you can encrypt it.
thanks for the explanation, more or less like that's what I was looking for
I previously thought that the same XML with Microsoft Access databases and the like.
I mean safe enough to use as such is an XML database, if this is possible or not and I think-tg already provided the answer
Our agency sends and receives XML data with the IRS for commonality of structure but on our side of the fence store our data in IBM-DB2 databases. Security is handled through a gateway as XML offers no security of its own.
Our gateway is from IBM under WebSphere called DataPower.
So if you are going to use XML to move from your location to another location one consideration is a gateway as mentioned above.
