Since XML is a way to exchange data...and it is protocol/platform indepdnent
there is a very good reason to have XML docuemts going in and out the
database. For example the database server can offer HTTP services, so we
don't need stuff like JDBC/ODBC and all that. It can be done through HTTP,
the result will be XML which together with some XSLT specs. can be made in
some human usefull format like HTML, WML or just plain application
interface. So tyhe database can be one more service offered and will not be
different from other services like web server, or even COtaRBA.
And you cannot say that Oracle has just good marketing not a deisgn, since u
first should be very familiar with the Oracle server to knowiate to
appricciate it's design.
