A simple file system based driver will be the easiest thing here as Lars
mentioned he was developing.

The major problem here is that we don't yet have a query language that
supports joins. XQuery of course will, but it is still a while off. The
way I see it fitting though is to be run against a root collection
context that would have access to all collections in the server. The
details of course are still fuzzy.

It is in the CVS repository for dbXML and will be part of dbXML 0.5 when
released. If you want to pull it from CVS you can find instructions here
http://www.dbxml.org.

Once we get a file system based implementation we'll make that available
from the XML:DB CVS and web site.
