[quote author="madla" date="1221526953"]I've got the same question.
How would I go about connecting the xml file as a database?

That would only be the route if you want to run database queries against the XML file.
In that case, you would want to create a new adapter for xml data sources. Probably more trouble than it is worth.
Otherwise, create a model to read/write the xml files. If you need more than one model reading from xml sources, you might look at implementing an xml library if you don;t have one.
