I have the idea, to store complete xml-files in a tablefield and make it accessible for an editor (e.g. XMetaL) on a client. The retrieval in the database is done e.g. by php connections via browser. After selection of a specific row, the db-server should send the (xml) field content to the client and start the editor. The upload after processing the file may be possible with a skript following an OnClose-handler of the editor (that's not the real problem). The principal idea is not really new and was tested with oracle iFS which supports this db-download to a local application. The idea is, to create a similar system e.g. on a MySQL basis. Ludwig --
