There are, in fact, document management products that allow you to do queries on document data, reuse components from one document in another, provide a programming interface to the data, etc. I would distinguish carefully between two approaches to XML databases. If what you have is fundamentally objects, relational data, or other traditional "database" data, then you are best off using a relational or object database, and exposing it as XML for the purpose of data exchange. If what you have is fundamentally document data, then a document management system is probably what you want. >Do you have any good ideas to show the advantage of XML as the data base >format to this kind of people? >Are there any experienc or information regarding XML(SGML) data base? >Are there any good XML data base in commercial basis? >If there is such Database, how much will it cost?
