[basex-talk] Architecture Question

Hello,

I have been going thru and comparing different Native XML Databases and so far I am liking BaseX. However, there are still a few questions unanswered, before I make a final choice:

1. I have 1000s of XML files (each between 50MB-400MB) and this is going to grow exponentially (~200 / per day). So, my question is how scalable is BaseX ? Can I configure it to use data from my external HDD, in my initial prototype ?

2. I plan to heavily use XPATH, for data retrieval. Does BaseX, use any multi-processing, multi-threading to speed up search ? Any concurrent processing ?

3. Can I do some post-processing on searched and retrieved data ? Like sorting, unique elements etc ?
