Subject: Re: 19.436 relational database and TEI
Another option you may wish to consider for this project is a native
XML database such as eXist (http://www.exist-db.org). Given the highly
granular nature of the markup this could be a good fit. With a native
XML database, the XML file is the database record, so you avoid all
the headaches that come with having to 'shred' your data to make it
fit the data-centric model of a relational database system. Just drop
the XML source into the database and it is ready for querying with
XPath/XQuery.
