XML
XML is often touted as the solution to fix every database problem. It is
not. However, it is useful is solving two very specific problems:
-
In allowing dissimilar database systems to communicate and share data;
and
-
In allowing client-side manipulation of data-sets, without having to
pull the data from the server again for each manipulation.
Alliance Software has a great deal of experience with using XML in both
ways. In our work with
RISS, we designed a specification that allows hundreds of databases
that were designed for unique purposes to communicate and share data. We
have also used XML to create live stats feeds for web sites.
