    Hi,

    Right i have a customer which has a site selling property's and they get there properties from XML databases. The main database is 70meg and contains nearly all the details. The DB will be replaced on a weekly basis with new properties and will just be used for search through.

    My question is would i be better using simpleXML to connect and search through the DB or import the data over to an MYSQL database?

    Cheers,
    Adam

    I would say write a simple importer to get the data into a database.

    But I haven't worked with simpleXML and don't know if it reads the entire file each time it searches for something.
