Well, considering that XML and SQL both end in the letter "L", I would have to say that they are quite similar in nature. They are both a form of "Language" designed to convey a structured message from a source to a destination. The main difference is that the destination of SQL is a database and the for XML it is almost anything (a database, a directory, a web browser, an application, etc.). In its purist definition I would agree that SQL and XML are not access protocols (they are languages), but they could easily be considered and used as one depending on how it was implemented. And I will go one step further in saying that not only is SQL not the best way to store data or information, it cant at all. It can carry data in the form of an SQL response, but not store it. Thats the job of the database. XLM on the otherhand could store data but I would only consider that to be an XLM structured data form. XLM itself is more the language, template, schema, etc. Correct me on this statement if I am out - you know better than I on the XML topic. Toy
