I'm curious.
I've been taught when is the proper time for XML, and when it's better to use SQL.
I know what the text book says about it, what does the IT real world say about it?
When would you use SQL vs. using XML?

When you have a problem and you think to yourself "I could use XML to solve that", then you have two problems. (The original quote is buried in antiquity)
But really: What kind of problem even begins to allow you to choose one of SQL or XML? SQL is a language that allows you to access data stored in a relational database. XML is a way to encode structured data (in a file).
