   Re: [xml-dev] [ANN] "Future of Software and Databases" NetSeminar (Decem

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Which opens a whole other can of worms.

If, as some are asserting, XML is for interchange formats - whats all 
this about XML databases?  Since interchange formats are typically 
equally inconvenient for all parties (unless defined by MS, in which 
case they are particularly convenient for MS), and interchange data is 
typically smallish (bite sized) and fragmented...

What is this crap about XML databases?
