building a XML database

Jenyb

Hi , I'm pretty new in this , and need some guidence.
I know how to build XML doc and even succeeded to read the data using VB.net . My problem is to build a database from XML documents and how to access the database in VB.net. Also I have been told I may need an ASP , if I do need it - what for?
Thanks very mach

Usually a multi-file database consists of an index with links to other files. For example:

In this case you read the index into an array or a list and read the records as you need them. How you read them depends on the structure of the files.
ASP is generally used to create webpages. You can use it to make the database easily accessable to the world.
