What Do You Know About Databases And XML?

Dare Obasanjo writes: "XML has become a pervasive part of significant segments of software development in a relatively short time. From file formats to network protocols to programming langauges, the influence of XML has been felt. I have written an overview of XML schemas, XML querying languages, XML-Enabled databases and native XML databases. Below is a shortened version of the article." Obasanjo's original OODBMS article has been updated to reflect more of the disadvantages between picking an OODBMS over an RDBMS.

    My company (www.phoenixca.cm) deals with things like Documentum, iMan, domino.doc and things along those lines. We are doing things that basically have never done before. We are mainly doing integrations between different software's and such, and we use XML a lot, it makes moving data between different systems (client / server, server / server.....) simple. So to be honest I am not surprised that XML has taken off like it has.

    It's also a matter of need. Some things need OODB more than RDB. Some things need RDB more than OODB. I've found some things may well work better with a well designed mix.
