why flat file when datasets are intrinsically tied to xml. It would be very easy to write a method that would output this dataset to an xml file. This makes subsequent retrieval and rebuilding of the dataset much easier.

I seem to be missing something here. Is it easier for you to bind your data as a flat file compared to an xml?

Actually the requirement is we are collecting all the data base (sql,db2..) tables into flat files.
