I doubt Oracle or MS will be frothing at the mouth. SQL Server 2005 will
have similar XML functionality, although the implementation, rather than
being a separate storage engine, is built on the relational store.
Although we'll probably never see the benchmark results, it will be
interesting to see which is faster.
As for Oracle, I rather disagree with the article's assessment, although
my disagreement is purely conjecture. Oracle has consistently shown
intelligent support for XML and I can't help but imagine that they're
building some sort of native storage themselves. Indexed CLOBs just
won't cut it for XQuery.
