You're right, we would. I guess I really mean "easier to produce
reports". But that's really just "SQL reports are the only ones I
personally know how to create". I wouldn't know how to go about manually
searching a bunch of XML files, except with find and grep, so I'm not
sure how one would go about creating a website with say a search
function, based purely on XML files.
