Can I try to shift it back to a vital question asked earlier, but not
answered?

What is a good database for XML?

The criteria are:
    * over 20, 000, 000 document fragments, each less than 256
characters, each with some flat metadata, able to be incrementally
reloaded onto the live system
    * about simultaneous 30 users accessing about 10 fragments a minute
each, grouped together (along with other dynamic data) and transformed,
with a high need for immediate response
    * constant data-mining tools using various adhoc AI and linguitic
retrieval software augmenting the metadata in the background.
