Hi!

I've been asking a number of people this question but haven't received a
satisfactory answer, so was wondering if anyone here can help.

Both a database (such as MySQL) and XML can be used for storing,
manipulating (XML w/ XSLT), rendering data.

How does one decide between the two?

One scenario I might be dealing with soon is taking product information
from a DOS system and throwing it out to either MySQL or XML for posting on
a web site.

Thanks.
