Hello:
I'm having a little trouble diving into the data side of NET -- mainly because I
find it so time consuming to create a new database, table, etc...and entering
test data (especially Guids!) for every little test scenario I want to
experiment with...

Whereas I could do this much faster if I could first experiment with some kind
of XML file that I put together, then once the sql is figured out, take the time
to create a real DB table, etc.
In other words, is there a way to interact with XML files through an
OleProvider/OdbcProvider, so that I can do database programming but "with
training wheels"?

Thank you so much for any and all suggestions,
Sky
