I think you are confused, sqlite and mysql are not the same.  If using
mysql then one can use a mysql server on one machine and access it
from several.  Using sqlite there is no server so this option is not
directly available.  You can still use file sharing to access the file
from multiple machines, but that is the same for xml or sqlite.
Whichever format you use you must make sure that access is limited to
one machine at a time, or data may be lost.

Note also that the sql formats are not yet recommended for general use
as there may still be bugs in that area.
