I don't think that using Xindice as database would be so much different from relational DB. Access/version controls have to be implemented in an application - there is no such built-in functionality in Xindice. > I am working on an online CAD tool that would serve multiple users with > programmable group read/write access allowance (similar to file access in > Unix system) and version control.

XUpdate service allows to modify documents on the node level. As for the rest of the questions... It's not like there is only one way of doing something like that. And the answer depends on lots of things that you probably know better than anyone else. Good luck :) Regards, Natalia > > Thanks, > > Tak
