Hello
eXist and MarkLogic both have mechanisms for unzipping a resource when it is loaded into the database.
In eXist, you can use a trigger and its unzip module.
For MarkLogic, you can use its Office OpenXML Extract pipeline. See http://robotbeerbash.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/getting-started-with-open-xml-...
What's the easiest way to do this sort of thing in basex?
thanks .. Jason
