Good question: Are the documents auto flatten when loading using Sedna se_BulkLoadFromStream?
I'm using the Sedna Java libs, and se_BulkLoadFromStream is the root call. In which case, this is a mute point and I can avoid the discussion. SednaAdmin.jar returns things formatted, but that might be a feature SednaAdmin and not how the docs are stored. Thanks, Malcolm When you export the files via se_exp all files are flatened. Sedna should work internally only with nodes, not with xml documents as such - flatening is useless, IMO. But I never tested it.
