From XML to Storage and Back

If you are used to working with relational databases and are wondering how to store XML data, this article is worth reading (if you don't work with databases, don't bother). For a variety of reasons, XML doesn't store well in relational databases and as a consequence companies are coming out with XML databases. This article from Oracle describes their solution. But don't think of it as an advertisement. Think of it as a good overview of what to expect from an XML database, which it is. If Oracle is a little steep for you, you could start playing around with the Exist database, an open source alternative.
