XML and SQL server 2000

Anyone who can give good advise in using XML in a SQL server 2000 dB. Microsoft is pumping out there mantra about XML. But is it at all so good to store everything in XML in the dB? If I want to make calculations in Store Procedures with dynamic SQL isn’t it a overhead storing data in XML? I would like a more balanced picture of the XML story. Advantages and disadvantages. Anyone with experince or good articles (not Microsoft) Regards

I personally would never store XML inside SQL Server 2000. Are you talking about 2005 by any chance? Big difference here. MeanOldDBA
