As self-appointed Chief Inquisitor of the Commission for the Preservation of the Native XML DBMS Faith, I abolve you, my son :-) If your XML data is just serialized RDBMS data, store it in an RDBMS. The dogma is not that the XML data model is the One True Path to truth, simply that if one's data reflect XML in all its hierarchical, recursive, mixed-content glory, or if one has to receive, query, transform, and send XML as XML, it usually makes sense to store it as XML rather than force-fitting it onto some other data model. The benefits (or lack of them) will be reflected in the bottom line, the time to market, and the ROI, not in the Hereafter. Sheesh, that's not dogmatic enough ... I guess I won't last long as Chief Inquisitor, oh well.
