Is XML robust enough?

Is the DataSet using XML robust enough?

I had a table with an autoincrement column in it for an row index. After
doing some completly non related work the XML file would not reload. I
looked at the XML file and I had a missing row that was replaced by a copy
of another row. So I had two rows with the same data, and same IDs in it.

From the time the XML file was good to the time it was corrupt the
application never deleted a row or added a row. Columns in the row were
modified but none were deleted or added, but yet this problem happend.

Now I am wondering if XML access in DotNet is robust enough to use or should
I stay with MDAC as my database. I got away from MDAC because I heard about
the deployment difficulties. [It is amazing to me that MDAC is required for
so many dotnet deployments but you can not find a step-by-step how to deploy
it anywhere. You can find messages about wrappers.exe, ect. But, you can't
find anywhere "here is how you do it". When this question is asked in the
newsgroups 150 different url refrences come up on how to do it.]

My database will have 6 tables in it and one of the tables could have 1000
to 3000 entries. The other tables will have much less. This is not a job
too big for XML is it?

Thoughts please.
