Though, having said that, the way you represent the data is different in a relational database from the way you'd represent it in an XML document. I'd suspect that the semantic nature of the queries people make will be similar, but in databases it will be represented in a manner that is easy to retrieve using SQL, while in XML documents it will be represented in a manner that is easy to retrieve using XPath. -- Richard Lanyon (Software Engineer) | "The medium is the message" XML Script development, | - Marshall McLuhan DecisionSoft Ltd. | *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
