Title: RE: XML versus Relational Database
From
earlier discussions on this oft repeated
thread
topic, there is a lot of experience with the mature relational
DB
products, particularly in the area of index optimization. But
you
are quite right that most relational systems are now hybridized
to the
point that the XML vs Relational DB is a non-issue.

There are obvious benefits to storing data in a format that
can be understood by disparate systems, and which is powerful enough to
represent data from disparate systems. If the XML view of the world is the one
that everyone needs when they unify data, and all your programs are moving
things into and out of XML, why not just store it in
XML?
