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. -- Ron
