Hey guys, sorry for the noob questions but I'm trying to develop a simple hotel booking application, and I cant decide what would be better to store the bookings in, a SQL databse or an XML document?? Also, if I was to choose a SQL databse, would the database still function properly on a computer without any SQL software installed??

Thanks in advance!
 
I would recommend SQL. But you will need either a dedicated server or a webhotel you can store the data on. So you have to link the app to the remote SQL database.
 
If this is going to be a commercial application, you're really going to want to use SQL because of the security concern. Hotels have been sued over letting their booking information out to the wrong people.
