talk@xquery.com<BR><B>Subject:</B> [xquery-talk] Finding a XML-Database to fit
our needs<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi all,<BR> <BR>I'm new to the list and work for a company in
Stockholm, Sweden. <BR> <BR>We are currently evaluating a move from storing
our data in a RDMBS (Oracle 10g) to storing it as native XML. The reason for
doing this is that all communication to the persistence layer is done via SOAP
and we believe we can save a lot of effort and time if we persist our data in
the same format as we communicate it to the outside world. <BR> <BR>We are
looking for a solution that can handle approximately 16 000 000 documents
ranging from 50 to 200 KB in size. About 5k to 20k documents will be updated
daily. The documents are all derived from the same base type and are described
by a common schema. There are 5 sub-types that could be split into different
collections where the largest, in terms of number of documents, would be about
8-9 million in size. <BR> <BR>Practically all documents have relationships
described to documents belonging both to their own type but also to the other
types so navigation of these relationships must be possible for querying
purposes. <BR> <BR>The documents are very data centric, containing very
little free text. But some fields will need to be backed by a free-text-index
for querying. Since operators will work online with the data, query times will
need to be reasonably fast for not to complex queries. <BR> <BR>Apart from
the above. The database should support:<BR> <BR>* Concurrent inserts and
updates.<BR>* XQuery 1.0 support.<BR>* Any fragmentation of the documents (to
handle the size) should be transparently handled by the database. <BR>* Both
commercial and open source alternatives are of interest.<BR> <BR>Any input,
experiences and pointers on where to look would be very much
appreciated.<BR> <BR>Cheers!<BR> <BR>/Johan<BR> <BR>--<BR>"You
can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, <BR>so
sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream." - Frank
