Maybe a difficult question but as a result of the absence of a relational database (SQL Server) in my application, Im considering using xml (with corresponding xsd) as a datastore (and linq to xml as a means to access the xml-datastore). The only concern
i have is about performance: is it realistic to use an xml file as a datastore performance-wise? I suppose it will depend on the size (# of entries/"records" in the divers elements), complexity of the xml/xsd, etc ... Can someone give me some hints, ...?
Thanks.
