Depends on what analyze data means. Relational math is wonderful for many kinds of data analysis so my first inclination is to assume that SQL would be preferable.
But on the other hand... It sounds like this is training data for a neural net? In that case maybe working with the XML directly makes more sense?
In the end, I would probably go with SQL to start with just because the analysis features of relational databases would provide some really nice ways to check results. That may be secondary but it is significant.
Yes, this is indeed training data. But you are absolutely right, we would definitely need to inspect and analyze the data for sanity checks. Therefore storing to a DB that has nice analysis features probably makes sense. Thanks for your answer!
