I have already written an XML::DB provider for AxKit for a past project and used it semi-successfully (performance was way too bad, unfortunately). It uses the XML::DB perl module suite, which doesn't yet have an bdbxml driver. After evaluating bdbxml, we switched over to SQL with a mapping layer since at that time bdbxml's indexing didn't work as expected/didn't have the needed performance impact. As for the second way of integrating bdbxml (see Kip's Post), I did not create a XSP taglib but have some infrastructure in place, so it should not be much of a problem. I'd love to see bdbxml supported by AxKit and offer my little time for the AxKit side of things - especially since things are basically there, but I didn't yet look into the perl API of bdbxml (it didn't exist last year). What bothers me a bit is the inefficiency of serializing a query result to a string to get it parsed by libxml as this is our XML library of choice. I have once read on the ML that there is a theoretic possibility to exchange the XML parser library in bdbxml, but how much work would that be? -- CU Joerg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
