How can I search a large XML data set?

Question

I have a DataModule with XML and I need do a search...

Unfortunately there are more than 300,000 records and I can't make a loop to check one-by-one.

Is it possible to make a query without using a database?

Is there another solution?

Answer 1

XML's fine for small amounts of information, but for a dataset that big, a relational database is really the only sane choice, especially if you need to be able to query it.
