[xquery-talk] difference between xml database processor (xquery) and dom

[fatma helmy]

dear all
is there a difference between handling xml file using
xquery processor such as saxon for example and
handling xml using dom api from inside a programming
language?
in other words what does xquery as a native database
for xml offer ? does it build special indexes to
enhance handling xml file, does it save memory usage
