RE: Strategies in XML storage and display interaction

I work for a major publishing company and we are
storing content as an xml clob, which we are indexing with oracle 8i.
The clob is called from the application and xsl is used to display it.
My questions are as follows:
1) Is this a good strategy
You might
at least consider the alternative of using one of the new generation of
databases built from the ground up to support XML. See Ron Bouret's web
pages devoted to XML and databases: http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLAndDatabases.htm and
http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLDatabaseProds.htm
2) Should character references be stored for
special characters or should it just be pure characters (ie. should we store
— for an emdash character or should we store actual utf-8 encoded
characters only)
Store the
Unicode value, otherwise it will be hard to search for values that might be
encoded as entity references. Or whatever you do, just be consistent so
that some processing layer can know what to look for in searching and displaying
the text.
