>From my experience, using 60kb xml documents with simple structure : Xindice handles about 80 000 documents per Collection before falling over Exist handles about 30 000 documents before dying.
This is with an out the box install. eXist has quicker queries, since it uses default settings of heavy indexing. Neither is really a suitable "database" per se, they are simply usefull for storing and organising a few xml small document collections. What is arguable is whether there is much point to calling it a database if it's less than a 100 000 documents.... If you want a real database, I suggest using Oracle or Sleepycat. They probably have Xml:Db drivers out by now. Jelle Alten wrote: >Hi all, > >I was wondering if anyone knows the differences between using Xindice and >for example eXist or dbXML.
