Subject: Re: [xsl] perhaps OT: ?s on native XML DBs and filesystem XML docs From: Robert Koberg <rob@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 07:41:37 -0700 |
I think that learning how to make effective use of anydatabase package, XML
or otherwise, is going to cost you a lot more than 25k (inany currency)
before you even start paying for software or developing yourapplication.
Well this is definitely discouraging... What do you feel is the required expense? (I am not opposed to paying what is necessary...)
It depends on your starting point, and on what you are trying to achieve. But you need to learn how to write [efficient] queries, how to drive the API, how to configure the server, how to write schemas and do the physical database design (e.g. allocating space, building indexes), how to do database loading, how to set up backup and recovery, how to register users and allocate access permissions, how to build interfaces with other systems. A full set of Oracle manuals occupies several metres of shelf-space and it will cost you $25K just to pay someone to read them. There are good reasons why database software is expensive; a well-performing database serving a substantial user community and deliverying high availability is a substantial investment. Rolling-your-own using operating system filestore may be a lot cheaper, but it doesn't scale.
