i just want some advice about this little project. my boss asked my to create an online based exam that consist of 150 questions. these questions will be randomly selected from the other 500 stored in a database. there is also a time-limit for the exam. the score must be computed immediately after the exam is finished. i want to ask if i should rather use XML as the storage for my questions instead of MYSQL? cause i think it would be more well structured but the correct answers will be stored in the database. to sum it up, the question and the answers are stored in an XML File with also a corresponding question code and then i shall store the correct answers in the MYSQL database. also the examinees are also filed up in the MYSQL database. or.... other ideas? also data security is also a factor 
all of them i think are ethical hackers.
