XML for databases: a dead idea

I don't think you should feel bad about that.

Though if you were using Postgres instead of MSSQL, you would probably consider JSON (or HSTORE) instead of XML since Postgres 9.2 has a built-in JSON column type.

Postgres has had an XML type for a lot longer than that. There's also better built-in support for XML than JSON because it's been in there longer.
