Hi, Barbara! thanks a lot for your response,

One week ago I've found a list of NXDB, specifically:

http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLDatabaseProds.htm#native

looking & looking for it seems that all open source solutions want to
implement XQuery in a future ... but not yet! :-(

For the time being they offer Xpath and/or proprietary solutions in
commercial cases and only various commercial solutions like
http://www.mediafusion.co.jp/usa/seihin/sekaiju/index.html   speaks about
transactions, commit, rollbacks ... so I've mentioned that it seems for the
time being NXDB uses are for limited purposes. I hope it lacks little time
to really enjoy opensource NXDB.

( I hope not to be mistaken but it is what I've deduced from all that I've
found )

thanks again,

Raúl
