Hi all! I first want to say Thanks! to the developers of Sedna for providing an open source native xml db! Its quite impressive, and good to see regular releases and updates.
I was reading through the docs (which are a bit sparse in places) to get a better idea of the capabilities of sedna, and noted that indexes are not used unless specifically called upon by a query. With a SQL database, indexes are used whenever possible, external to the query. A few questions re:indexes: 1) what kind of a performance difference is there with/without indexes? 2) would having a collection with 1 000 000 records work almost as fast as with 10 records? 3) what are the future plans for indexing? ie. more like SQL databases? One other comment - it was not clear to me that full text search is an optional add on that will cost money to get, maybe you could make that more obvious in your documentation and from the main web page? Thanks very much! Mark PS. I have read through the mailing list and saw there was mention made a year ago about automatic usage of indexes (said that it wasn't going to be done in the near future), but that was a year ago and with an older version of Sedna... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
