Hi,
I've thinked a lot about this but i cannot find a good answer. Why has
XML:DB Api the concept of collections and "files" ?
[..]
has someone a good reason to use collection concept,
thinks someone like me?
In Tamino you can restrict the content of a collection to one
DTD/schema. Tamino uses the schema to optimize indices.
So collections give you better performance, but less flexibility.
Is it possible in xindice to search a collection and all
subcollections? I
don't think so. So what are subcollections good for?
I think it's like the java package structure. When importing
foo.bar.package.* you don't import foo.bar.package.subpackage.*
as well. It's just a matter of order.
