Yes, I want to second that and congratulate Elliotte on a very well put-together demonstration.
I believe the slides can be found here: http://www.cafeconleche.org/slides/nyphp/xquery/01.html I work in the medical industry, and I've seen a lot of not-so-rectangular data stuffed into rectangular holes (see the NYPHP thread on "Flexible Forms" back in May, for example) and XML seems as if it would provide a nice alternative. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the relative infancy of the open source DB's available. I would have to be convinced that they are stable, long-term solutions, and so far I'm not seeing that. Some of the hybrid solutions out there, however, look quite viable. Again, thanks for the talk, Elliotte. On 10/24/07, Halter, Shari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Great Native XML Database talk last night!
