I am going over XML within my SQL SERVER course, and find it quite hard.

I just want to ask, does XML play a big part within SQL SERVER?

Regards

it totaly depends on what part you're using.
it plays a big deal with xml datatype, xml import, everything that deals with service broker (database mail, event notifications, etc...), http endpoints (which are deprecated in SQL Server 2008).

if none of those things interest you then no, it doesn't play a big part

I've been working professionally with SQL Server for about 5 years now and have never had to deal with XML (but then I'm not to fond of xml so I tend to avoid it whan I can )
