I have used dbXML and it is OK.  The GUI interface is helpful, The XSLT
search is a nice feature.  It has some issues with serializing
namespaces.  The search documentation is not that great. There are also
some problems with how the API returns search results.

The user list is *not active* support does happen, but you can't count
on it. When it does come, it is good.

I have not used it under heavy load.  It is a promising product.

Subject: Xindice or eXist or dbXML

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows the differences between using Xindice
and
for example eXist or dbXML. This is of course the 1 million dollar
question:
which database to use under what conditions.

I understand that Xindice is good at playing with many small docs, but
what
is "many", how small?
Aren't these three xml-db's based on the same code? Which are used in
production environments? Should I switch to a commercial product for
production situations? (dont want to)
What about performance issues? Who's better in full text search, which
one
doesn't like indexes at all?

Of course I searched some of the interenet, found
http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/ProdsNative.htm but not much more and most
certainly no guidelines as which to use when.

If anyone can give some insights, I'd be delighted... Even pointing out
that
this is not the place to ask will be fine.

Thanks for any help.

Jelle
