Buddy XML is a markup language, now a days widely used over Internet.

Database is nothing but a hexadecimal dump file which stores data in binary form in other words database is not used to read data but is used to arrange data in various fields and column.

XML is just a markup language and database is just hex dump, both are two different things XML can be used to read data but database is always used to store data.
I think that's clear.Happy Computing.

No. You use some other tool to read data from a database. You can use SQL, for example..

So, database just stores data.

Hello goyal
XML is nothing but Extended markup language....
XML itself contains database..and script should be written to access database...
