xquery and geospatial request

[Sébastien Geindre]

Hi everybody,

I need to store GML feature in  a database and to be able to make 
geospatial request on them.

Do we have a language (extension to xquery) to make such request on a 
XML native database ?
Or are we constrained to  map GML data into object, then store them into 
GIS database ?

Thanks for your response.

Sébastien.
