Take a look at http://www.xmldb.org/faqs.html for a definition of 'Native XML Database'. It really has nothing to do with text files in a filesystem though you could certainly build one that way, just as you could build one on top of an RDBMS. A more accurate term would probably be 'Seamless XML Database' but I guess 'Native' sounds better to marketing. The XML:DB discussion list is also a good place to ask questions if you want to find out more about this particular area. http://www.xmldb.org/projects.html Also if you want to look at one of these things, dbXML is open source. It isn't quite production ready yet but it is far enough along to give you a good idea of the capabilities you can expect in products of this nature. http://www.dbxml.org > > --- > Danny Ayers > http://www.isacat.net > -- Kimbro Staken The dbXML Project http://www.dbxml.org/
