Hi Friends this regarding the difference between xml file system and database.
* Storage: In XML the data stored in XML documents where as In Database the stored in tables.
* schemas: XML uses DTD,XML schemas where as Database uses database schemas.
* Querylanguage: XML uses XQL, QL, QUIL where as Database uses SQL.
* Programming Interface: XML uses SAX, DOM to manage documents where as Database uses JDBC.
* Quering the XML is more complex than using the simple select statement in Database.
* Most of small projects do not require database work.They are using simple XML files for manipulating the data.
* For complex applications and data structures we better to go for database because it has it has provided more options.
This might be useful to you.
Thanks,
