Using an XML file instead of MYSQL as DB?

Post by Jetcom »

I have seen some CMSs using just an xml file for saving all data, which of course is great if you dont have any real db support. Does anyone know if this would be possible to do with CMSms?

No.

On CMSms databases are only supported via ADOdb / lite. If you don't want to have a real database, you should use sqlite.

It doesn't need to run as a separate server process.  It's a database wrapped inside a library, but still does a lot of database like things...  like SQL, transactions, etc.
