Anyway that comment is out of context - my point was that the APIs would always abstract the changes anyway, and in fact this would be more important for a database

Actually, it seems I guessed right. APIs are all nice and convenient, but as any user of propietary file formats knows, the real power comes with free access to the data. And that is also pretty important for databases, where one of the most serious concerns is the possibility to migrate to different DB engines. Teleport

Quote:

the XML spec is well defined whereas CSV doesn't even have a spec really.

Again, there's ways to cope with that, starting with a good documentation on which flavors/formats are being used. Deal

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
