Hi all,

I'm looking at a site where there will be a lot of articles, all of which
will be added once, and rarely edited again...

Let's say each article consisted of 6 data types:
    - id
    - author
    - authorEmail
    - datePublished
    - introduction
    - bodyText

I'm considering:

a) storing this data in a MySQL table (a fairly simple query)
b) storing this data in a pseudo XML format like:

<id>24</id>
<author>Justin French</author>
<author_email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</author_email>
<date_published>2003-11-28</date_published>
<intro>This is my intro</intro>
<body>This is my text and html -- say 1000 words?</body>


I plan on doing my own performance tests, but I'd love to hear any opinions
about which would form of data retrieval would cause less of a performance
burden on the server (MySQL is on the same box as the htdocs and apache).


TIA,

Justin
