If you mean a database whose storage structure would map exactly a XML tree, I think it could be considered as hierarchical (if you consider you are storing trees) or object (if you consider you are storing DOM objects). You can also, store XML documents as BLOBS in a RDBMS. Now, independently of the storage structure, XML can be used as a an interface to retrieve information from any kind of storage (RDBMS, OODBMS or anything else). > Excuse me if this question is not related to all > XSL-List thread(off-topic). > > Thanks > Sydney Hope this helps, Eric -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric van der Vlist Dyomedea http://dyomedea.com http://xmlfr.org http://4xt.org http://ducotede.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
