Ciao Francesco, For me, one of the biggest things in favour of Xindice is support for the xmldb interfaces and xupdate, which Tamino doesn't seem to have (and doesn't seem to have any intention of supporting, as far as I can see. Pushing proprietary standards instead?).

Our customer continuously ask us what are our reasons for preferring XIndice to Tamino, which seems to be the most widely used XML native database, at least here in Europe. As a project manager, I like Xindice because it is open and free - and I also believe it is very well designed - but I'd like to gain a deeper understanding of the difference and similarities between Tamino and XIndice, in order to give better answers to our customers. So, I wanted to ask: 1) Where can I find some "success stories" for XIndice (or is it too early to look for them, being XIndice a young project)? 2) Does anybody knows of any pointer to a (possibly third-part) comparison between XIndice and Tamino, not only in term of speed, but also in term of extensibility and flexibility? 3) Would any member of the developement team be so kind to give me his personal view on the advantages of preferring XIndice over Tamino? Thanks in advance, Francesco - Francesco Bellomi "Use truth to show illusion, and illusion to show truth."
