XML and databases

[Arthur S Bridges <Arthur_S_Bridges@progressive.com>]

I am working on a large data classification
dictionary in XML and I am wondering at what point do I need to use a database
as a back end. 

Project Profile:
        From
a 'table' point of view, I have about a dozen fields and 25,000 records
which we project to grow to 250,000+
        Each
record contains resource profiles and descriptions as well as ownership
information which needs to be kept up to date with personnel changes.
        We
plan to use XQuery/XSLT as well as C# for access/update programming

Has anyone out there had to deal with
a project of this size?

We are planning to run a web service
fro Query and update functions.

Thank you for any response and Suggestions
