Searching for an XML database...
 

Hello,

I am trying to find an XML database that does the following:

1) I like the native XML database feature that just lets you insert an XML file whether you provide a DTD/XSD or not. However, if the XML file does refer to a DTD/XSD, I don't want the database to find that DTD and try to insert it as well (which is what Xindice tries to do).

2) Integrate nicely with Apache.

3) Store files that aren't written in XML. At the very least, store files that are written according to DTD syntax. The native XML databases I have reviewed so far (Xindice, Sedna and eXist) only handle files written in XML. Which I understand is probably part of the definition of a native XML DB... I was just hoping for an extra feature.

Maybe I'm asking for too much... I don't know. It doesn't have to be a native XML DB, it could also be something built on top of an RDBMS that just provides the extra XML logic. But I don't want to have to create the RDBMS schema for each variety of XML I want to insert.

Any thoughts?

Sorry, I don't use anything the like ... but there seem to
be a few around according to freshmeat
