Re: XML versus Relational Database

[Rick Jelliffe <ricko@allette.com.au>]

For an interesting related paper see
  http://www.cs.wisc.edu/niagara/papers/vldb00XML.pdf

Note that they are concerned with querying databases for branches, and so
their comments on file-system storage don't apply to where your data is
already sitting in nice, friendly, small by coarse-grained documents (i.e.
when there is no parsing involved, just raw retrieval by service over the
WWW.)
