I run a site in which I store quite a lot of content as raw XML, but index into it with a relational database. So my tables in the database contain the terms I want to index on, plus a pointer to the XML document in the filesystem. The only downside is a bit more effort maintaining synchronicity between the two. However if there aren't tools out there that do this kind of thing already, there probably will be shortly. -- Edd Dumbill | Director, Useful Information Co. & Pharmalicensing Ltd tel: +44 (0) 702-093-6870 | edd@u... | http://usefulinc.com fax: +44 (0) 870-164-0230 | pgp: http://usefulinc.com/edd/pubkey.asc xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
