Hi All, I need to decide whether to consume feeds from third party as web services or just creating my own system with relational MySQL backend. Question is, which actually cost more ? Parsing a moderate streaming XML or creating a mysql connection ? As I read from some sources that creating initial connection to mysql is very costly. Thanks, Feris
