Peter didn't say relational database... although he did mention Hadoop 
I think.

There isn't a single right answer.

Sometimes it's about extracting just the bits you need to query and 
putting just those in some kind of database - relational, NoSQL, 
SlightlySQL, triple store, XML-native, hybrid, whatever, with no hope 
of reconstructing the original -- if you need the original, just use 
it directly.

Sometimes it's worth writing custom code - a database importer, for 
example - for performance reasons.

Sometimes some percentage of your queries actually rely on querying 
markup in mixed content, or on relationships between parts not 
explicitly stored.

So for Roger I'd say that I think the direction I see is more hybrid 
stores (from Virtuoso to MarkLogic..) and more variation being 
acceptable as people come to recognize that different needs are best 
served with different technologies.
