BaseX is actively developed (6.0 came out about two weeks ago), but I
understand your concern. It seems like they are moving towards building more
of a community around it (mailing lists and such), but yes, the core is pretty
much the university team.
eXist has more plug-ins and specialty
I've had the best experience (query speed, primarily) with BaseX. This was
primarily for large XML document processing, so I'm not sure how much it will
satisfy your transactional needs.
I was initially using eXist, and then switched over to BaseX because the speed

Both support XQuery and have indexing features based on any XML structure.

Hi,
we're currently looking for an XML database to store a variety of
small-to-medium sized XML documents. The XML documents are
unstructured in the sense that they do not follow a schema or DTD, and
that their structure will be changing over time. We'll need to do
efficient searching based on
