Well be careful when suggesting an OODBMS. They are nice but have no
features whatsoever for querying or exporting data for instance. So
storing XML documents as strings within an OODBMS is not much better
than storing them in an RDBMS. You still cannot use XQuery or XPath
directly on the database. So there is lttle value really.
Mind you I think MS SQl Server 2005 does have a good internal support
for XML documents by doing a transparent mapping. I don't think
PostgreSQL or MySQL do that as of yet (or even if they will support it
in the future).
eXists is a nice XND but has a crappy support for programing languages
other than Java (the best I could do was to XML-RPC it from Python, that
worked great but was quite slow).
