I will take a look, although our requirements
are such that we need to connect to non-xml
databases as well. (Many labs have
standardized on Oracle 7 and/or 8).
I'm at work now, so I'm passing this
on to my home account for review tonight.
It may be that xmldb becomes the interface,
with the implementation of a Oracle-XMLDB
bridge being left up to the user. ;)
Thanks for the info!

Hi Robert,
even if my reply is not that related to your problem I think it would
be an interesting information...

This architecture sounds like a general interface for XML databases.
You may want to know that there is organization that aims exactly that.
At this time there is a very intersting discussion about the definition
of an API for XML Databases. If you are interested in that topic, point
your browser to
This API *may* help you to design a pluggable interface. But note that
the definition of this API is at a very early state and no database
supports this interface right now.
Just my $0.02,
Lars
