Nonsense.
First, it is very difficult to make a clear difference between traditionale
databases and XML ones.
In fact, the only difference is the way you acces the datas. But in fact,
how are stored the datas is each database problem.
In fact, XML databases, [ i mean databases which allow XML manipulation
(providing API specifics or standardised), even if they are also traditional
ones (Oracle) or not (XIndice) ] will be usefull if they complete the need.
For those who thinks that Object databases are dead, they are wrong. In
fact, there is at least one powerfull database which work properly :
Versant. There is numerous application, in which it beats Oracle.

Subject: Re: XMLRPC or CORBA?
I don't know and I don't think anyone can make anything but qualified
guesses. Maybe xml databases themselves will vanish like the object
databases did.
(Big corporations like oracle and others are already building in xml
support in their products)
