Hello,
I am a happy BaseX user.
Currently I am trying to help other teams to find right solution to their data mining from huge xml data store. They are going after postgre and probably even db2. Nor that I have any influence over their decision, but I would like to alert them about something obvious.
I just wanted to have some comments from experts here, to give me guidance on what is a major different between these relational DBs supporting native xml storages as compared to BaseX or whatever. I know postgre doesn't support xquery, but db2 does. As you all are aware, our queries won't be complicated probably even xpath might work, just amount of data would be huge. We won't even care hugely about the time taken to return results as long as it's not days.
Please advice,
- Mansi
