Ops... allow me to explain, I use this on a simple software where I 
know beforehand what the records are. No need to a SELECT call. This 
sofware is using the DB as a filesystem-like database. My XML tells 
everything about the DB... I know people might be thinking, so why the 
hell he is using a DB... it's like this MySQL is accessed remotelly to 
store JPEG files and weblog comments, each one is assigned an ID, this 
ID is stored locally on client XML for this will not change, it's 
faster than using SELECT all time...

I think you might understand me better now..

Cheers
