May be there is an option on the Commercial Market, BasisPlus from OpenText. I worked quite a lot with it but, sincerely, I prefer a MySQL table with references to files on the File System. A lot faster, and cheaper....
Now there is true that I use to work with sgml files and I still prefer them. I this case, you can even use TEXT columns and - if you use MyISAM tables - you can index them to use full text retrieval. On the other hand, BasisPlus has the ability to import all sort of data and index them, but you have to pay a high price for that... In conclusion, I still think that MySQL is your best choice here.
