For the record, I've been dumping all my XML CDRs into a particular
directory and letting a script pick them up and process them. I think
this is the best of both worlds: you get individual files with tons of
info on each call and you can have a process that picks up those files
and inserts them into the db. If the db is down then the CDRs aren't
lost - they just accumulate in the directory until you get the db/script
thing working again.

Just my $.02
