Ah, I think I'm catching a glimpse of what you're getting at. I believe that the Berkeley XML database supports this sort of indexing and retrieval of the data. I haven't delved into it too much because it's an embedded database... and at the time I was looking for a database server. Turning to RDMS for XML storage... I guess it depends on the goal. Would you want round-tripping? Or would you use the RDMS as an indexed storage mechanism for fast access to fragments of data in the original XML document? Or, if you want round-tripping, suppose you set up a DOM-like hierarchy in a table. How does that help you? (Sorry, I'm thinking out loud... and it's late.) I guess what I'm wondering is -- what sort of schema did you have in mind, Martin?
