XML for databases: a dead idea

We had an entire system based on SQL Server's "FOR XML" output clause and XML data islands in IE. It was an unmitigated fucking disaster zone that took 5 years to get rid of.

That put us off the above pretty sharpish.

FOR XML and XML data type (e.g. XML column) are pretty much unrelated.

Yep but they share one feature: shitty idea.
