Hi Folks, Thank you very much for your excellent responses. A popular database these days are the schemaless noSQL databases. My understanding of these kinds of databases is that once the data is stored into the database, the database then dynamically analyzes the stored data and does aggregation
and correlation. In other words, the database dynamically generates a schema (here I use the term “schema” in a very generic sense). So if people can do productive things with schemaless databases (because a schema is dynamically generated), then people should be able to do productive things with schemaless XML (by dynamically generating a schema). Yes? /Roger |
