At a purely anecdotal level, I've heard from native XML database vendors that their customers often start out wanting to use a single large document rather than many small documents. This is clearly related to the impulse many people have to throw away their database and replace it with a single XML document. My guess is that anybody who starts out with a single large document and then looks at performance issues will eventually end up with many small documents. -- Ron
