I doubt Oracle or MS will be frothing at the mouth. SQL Server 2005 will 
have similar XML functionality, although the implementation, rather than 
being a separate storage engine, is built on the relational store. 
Although we'll probably never see the benchmark results, it will be 
interesting to see which is faster.

As for Oracle, I rather disagree with the article's assessment, although 
my disagreement is purely conjecture. Oracle has consistently shown 
intelligent support for XML and I can't help but imagine that they're 
building some sort of native storage themselves. Indexed CLOBs just 
won't cut it for XQuery.
