Thank you all for the input. One thing I should indicate, design is not the issue, the conversion and synchronization of the product list with the database is what is becoming hectic bearing in mind the product reviews are done every 6months.

.... yeah, it shouldn't become hectic.Keeo them in the DB; using the DB will allow you to make complex queries on the data you have [... such as in the case where you want to retrieve a list of only those products that were dropped between to different dates]... as you can imagine, using xml to do that kind of work can be quite taxing on both u the programmer ans system resources...
and as stated above, if you design your stuff well enuf, it will be far from hectic.
