  9. Re:why an xml database? on Choosing the Right XML Database? · · Score: 1

    The XML that I will be storing is a tree like structure, with lotsof children. so mapping that to relational database was not easy.

    the other option for me was to use a pure OODB like objctivity, which i have used in other project. I could still use it for this projekt.

    But I thought it would be better if I use some engine that support XPath and XQuery.

  10. Re:Take the easyst way on Choosing the Right XML Database? · · Score: 1

    thanks for the reply :) Actually the data that will be stored is XML, and is very well suited for XML. Plus the application that will retrieve it later, will be expecting a Well-formed and valid XML as the input. Apache's Xindice also support storing everything in Relational DB.
