Hi, I am looking into XML databases as it relates to content management and as a general web platform. Was wondering about the opinions of people on this list -- any thoughts, comments, concerns? A few things I have noticed: * EMC/Documentum bought XHive. I can find very little information about XHive. Is anybody using it? What are your thoughts about the product? What are your thoughts about the integration with EMC/Documentum? * MarkLogic seems to be doing a lot of things right. Its seems like a great move to hire people like Norm Walsh and Micah Dubinko (as well as Jason Hunter a long time ago). They seem to be the default choice /if/ you have the money. Is that your opinion? Also, it seems a few people are trying to get the XRX (XForms Rest XQuery) meme going. In the past when evaluating Xforms I found it limiting with what I could do in the UI. I have been more comfortable using javascript and XHTML directly. Are you comfortable using XQuery as your templating language? I am very interested in using XQuery in an aggregation layer, not so much as a templating language which is where the products (at least eXist and MarkLogic) seem to want you to go. I think I would prefer to use XQuery as the aggregator to feed an XSL transform. I have a slight worry there that I would be duplicating some efforts like creating some DOMish representation for the XQuery and then another one for the XSL transform. what do you think? -Rob
