yah if i were storing XML id go with this kind of thing too (although i prefer straight adjacency list with a "root id" node to store groups of XML tags...since when are you going to load only part of the XML for a particular document ?)

with regards to nested sets, what id really *love* to use is this, but i dont know how to do it without PL/SQL (it is amazing with oracle):

Just a friendly note to tell you I'm a rabid fan of the nested set model to store hierarchical data (this case, the document structure).

In (the longshot) case you haven't seen it:
