RE: [xml-dev] XML and databases

We are also worried about multiple user access and asynchronous updates

RE: [xml-dev] XML and databases





25,000 records x 12 fields x 20 bytes = 6Mb which is certainly doable using
a single XML document loaded into memory, unless you need fine-grained
transactional updates and concurrency etc. Multiply by 10 and you're
straining it a bit. I think I'd go for an XML database.

Subject: [xml-dev] XML and databases



I am working on a large data classification dictionary in XML and I am
wondering at what point do I need to use a database as a back end.

Project Profile:
From a 'table' point of view, I have about a dozen fields and 25,000

records which we project to grow to 250,000+
Each record contains resource profiles and descriptions as well as

ownership information which needs to be kept up to date with personnel
changes.

We plan to use XQuery/XSLT as well as C# for access/update
programming

Has anyone out there had to deal with a project of this size?

We are planning to run a web service fro Query and update functions.

Thank you for any response and Suggestions
