Thanks in advance for clarification on this issue. I've just finished reading Sam's "Teach yourself ASP.NET in 24 Hours" and "", and I feel that I'm ready to get started with some small ASP.NET apps. My questions relates to XML data storage vs. SQL Server database data storage. What is the point of storing data in database tables when XML can do pretty much the same thing? Couldn't I create apps that purely used XML/XSLT/ASP.NET? Or is there a need for SQL Server databases in this plan?
This whole concept is kind of confusing me. I'm thinking of using XML/XSLT/ASP.NET by themselves with simple applications (i.e. contact info), and using SQL Server databases for more complex applications. But clarification on the best setup would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
