I agree. XML makes a very good low-end, transaction-free database. But this seems to be have passed "low-end" quite a while ago. A good DBMS is cheap, even Oracle. He seems to be pushing a technology way beyond its abilities, therefore way beyond its usefulness. The word that came to my mind when reading his description was "fragile." Which means trouble, lots of it, and soon. For those who need high-powered persistence, but don't want to (or can't) handle the conversion from object to relational, go to the Oracle site and look for TopLink. It is free and looks very impressive. (I am only just now examining it, but so far I like what I see.) Tomm To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm
