Finding a XML-Database to fit our needs

[Ken North]

Johan,

Oracle 10g/11g, IBM DB2 9 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 implement an XML 
data type - meaning you can operate on an XML document as a column. You can 
create tables having an XML column, query over the tables, use XPath 
expressions, use documents as parameters to stored procedures and so on. With 
those platforms, you have a variety of stored procedures and functions for 
operations on documents, schemas, and message queues.

There are also a variety of products (open source and commercial) that include 
an XQuery processor. This page has a list with download links:
