RE: storing xml files into database

An independent benchmark would be great, hopefully by someone other than
ZapThink, as it should be freely available.

Tamino has a pretty great eval version out there,
http://www.xmlstarterkit.com/ : certainly functional enough for
evaluation.

It would be nice if we could find an independent entity to benchmark us
all... I think there are enough of us in the XML DB and XML-enabled DB
market now to submit to an independent benchmark ;->  We've been
building ours since 1997 ;->.

We've spent a lot of our own resources on standalone and competitive
benchmarking (well, against the products we can get a hold of... so far,
we've only been able to do that with the RDBMS vendors... the rest of
you XML DB vendors do not have fully-functional evals like we at eXcelon
do ;->).

If not ZapThink, maybe there's someone else on this list that can
coordinate such an independent benchmark.

Cheers,
Chris
