How to convert XML file to a Database?

Question

I recently downloaded the SO Data Dump and was wondering how I could convert it from XML to a DB that I could use in my .NET applications.

Answer 1

C# handles XML natively very well. Unless there is a large amount of XML, simply use LINQ to XML.

If you have large amounts of XML, then handling it in streaming mode is proably less work than putting it in a DB
