XML and Databases

hello, my question is that what is the benefit of getting any RDBMS data into
an XML file ?. Is this better then displaying data directly from database?
please tell me.
Thanks.
have a good day.

Typically, no. XML is notoriously slow, especially depending on the number
of records you are going to be looking through.

What's wrong with getting data from the database?

Much better is RDBMS that supports XML, such as SQL Server 2005.
