RE: storing xml files into database

That's impressive. Many people have tried very hard to make that work. For
once a software patent that is both original and actually worthy of a
patent.

I've seen B-Bop in action, and it *seems* to hold up pretty well.  The big
drawback I saw was in text searchability; since each text node (in the
XPath data model) ends up in a different row, a continuous phrase that
crosses element boundaries might be split across rows.  It seemed able to
reconstitute a document pretty quickly, and simple XPath expressions are
isomorphic to SQL queries.
