Re: What is the logic of storing XML in a Database?

I'm sure there are many people who have been through the same
experience as myself using xml as a transport format:

1) Observe the popularity of XML and the supporting libraries in the
language you are working in.
2) Implement a transport layer using XML to parse messages/data etc.
3) Realise that your server/application is now over ten times slower
than it was before.
4) Remove XML and replace with something far simpler, far less verbose
and vitally far /quicker to parse/.
5) Curse XML for wasting your bloody time and never let it darken your
door again.
