A brave statement, Tim. The triumph of tinkerism. OTOH, the XML data model is pretty good for grabbing a snippet of the RDBMS content and working with it on the client. I always think of it as my locally handy OODB for doing fast, non-scalable manipulations. DOMs make fine semiotic storage models for a local focus of attention. So does a relational view, but keeping one of those around means keeping the rest of the RDBMS handy, and that is expensive in several dimensions. len From: Tim Bray [mailto:tbray@t...] Summary: XML for export and interchange is totally the way to go. How you get there? Acronyms that begin with X aren't that relevant. Now all the XDBMS vendors are going to complain about my lack of fidelity to the religion of the XML data model, oh well.
