One question about XML schemas

[Piotrekk]

Hi
I was reading a lot about DataSets and XML schemas ( xsd )
None of the sources has answered my question - when should we use
schemas? Usually when i save and load dataset to/from XML I don't need
to create schemas.
What is the real life example of when we should create schemas for an
XML representation of database set.

Best regards

Piotr,

Well, if you are going to expose that data set through say, a web
service, you would need the schema then. But for just regular exposure in a
program, I would say you don't need it really.

You could also use it to validate other data set instances that you want
to perform some sort of merge operation on.
