Using XML documents as a database?

[Alfonso Esteban Gonzalez Sencion]

Hello

I am looking for an aplication that could query XML documents. Somethin
like Access for windows but with the ability to treat XML documents as a
database would be nice.

Or on the other hand a tool to map XML documents into a database for
processing and if posible to dump the modified information in the XML
documents.

Bad idea. Looks pretty, but performance is lousy. The "document" is
just too monolithic for good performance.

Much better.

Big question - XML or RDF ? Do you have a stable schema for all
documents _before_ you set up the system, or must you deal with
semi-structured data that has an underlying structure you only get to
know when you first meet the dataset ?

This is a good, but very difficult, topic. So much depends on what
sort of data you're expecting, and a little on the coding tools you're
familiar with.

1) Are you looking for ready solutions or just wants to build your own?

2) What kind of data you going to store in it?

3) How bit will be this data base? How many recordfs do you expect?
