A simple file system based driver will be the easiest thing here as Lars mentioned he was developing. > > I do share your impression. From my side I'm rather satisfied with that > model.

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.

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. > -francesco > > -- > ---------------------------------------- > Francesco Ricci > ITC-irst > Electronic Commerce and Tourism Research Laboratory > via Sommarive 18 > 38050 Povo (TN) > Italy > > Phone: ++39-0461-314521 > Secr: ++39-0461-314530 > Fax : ++39-0461-302040 > email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://ectrl.itc.it > http://members.xoom.it/fmricci/ > ---------------------------------------- > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Contact adminstrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Kimbro Staken Chief Technology Officer dbXML Group L.L.C http://www.dbxmlgroup.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact adminstrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
