Dear all, I'm a user of CafeTran (www.CafeTran.com) which uses H2 as a database engine (http://cafetran.wikidot.com/working-with-external-databases). I'm completely unexperienced with this feature of CafeTran. Before I start learning it, I'd like to ask a question here.
In another user group (http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/help_/conversations/messages/40917) I found this quote: WFS integrates its own database engine. Most other solutions rely on > standard database systems, like Oracle™, Lucene, or SQL engines. A > standard database system (DBMS) may sound reassuring to executives who > don't grasp the nature of linguistic databases. But there are major > drawbacks.

My question would be: is H2 the best solution to store Translation Memories with millions of segments? Translation Memories are a special kind of XML files where every segment (e.g. a sentence) in a source language is assigned to a segment in a target language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_Memory_eXchange Thanks for your help!
