I just finished reading an excellent whitepaper on Oracle 8i, and it seems to me that they are way ahead of other Industry leader's like Sybase, and Microsoft (in terms of working with XML as an actual datasource). It appears that their initiative allows XML to be broken down using descriptors (equivalent to MS's XML Schema ????), and stored as relational data, as a text 'blob' (a long string of XML tags, I assume ????), or both. The whitepaper can be found at: http://www.oracle.com/xml/documents/xml_twp/ What I'm wondering is ... how are other companies, like Sybase, MS, etc. planning on implementing XML on the back-end? We've seen a lot in terms of rendering on the client (no doubt an important aspect), but very little on the back-end strategies. Can anyone point me in the right direction, in terms of learning more about this? Thanks much. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
