xml-dev - Practical XML

["Steven Livingstone, ITS, SENM" <steven.livingstone@scotent.co.uk>]

I am developing a XML Web project based on cinemas thoughout Glasgow,
Scotland.

Now, I am going to use XML client-side (maybe server-side) to mark up the
info (so we can compare prices/film types etc..).

What is the better way to store the data :

1. All cinema's in one XML file
2. An XML file per cinema
3. Store cinema details as text in DB and mark them up and they are
retrieved
4. Store marked-up data in DB

Also, say I have 1000 cinemas stored in seperate XML files (because I asked
each conema to enter their detalis and send the file to me) and someone
wanted to do a search on these - how should this be done?

I am using SQL Server 7, ASP,VB 6 and IIS4 (maybe 5)., but I would be
interested in *all* ideas.

thanks
steven
