Hi all,
can xindice validate an xml document via xml schema before
storing it? And what is the situation for every other native
xml database?

It's really not the job of a database to validate XML content.
The task falls to an XML processor. If you're running Xindice
you have access to an XML processor (i.e., Xindice won't run
without one), so you can use the XML processor to perform the
validation at any stage during document processing, not just
prior to storage.
Because Xindice can use a variety of XML processors, it's only
a question of whether the specific XML processor you're using
supports validation via XML Schema. Xerces, for example, does,
as well as JAXP, the XML processing that's part of Sun's Java 2.

that there is ultimately an order lurking behind the incredible

order is what people require more than anything else; yes, I
would almost say that the notion of order or story is connected
with the godhead. Stories are substitutes for God. Or maybe the
other way round." -- Wim Winders
