Topic: Native XML Databases
Presenter: Mike Rymkiewicz, Technical Evangelist - NeoCore (www.neocore.com) 
"NATIVE" XML DATABASES
As the use of XML in enterprise applications increases, many IT organizations are facing the need to store XML documents.  These XML documents could be small in size - representing credit card transactions, or could be several megabytes large - representing a log of all customer interactions.  Many IT organizations that are intimately familiar with relational databases are using their existing RDBMS to store these XML documents.  This puts them on a collision path with XML itself.  Relational databases were never designed for dealing with extensible data - the X in XML.  A more appropriate solution is to store XML documents in a native XML database.

This talk will explain what is a native XML database.  We will explain why the storage of XML requires a new type of database.  We will further expand on the benefits and drawbacks of native XML databases.  Applications that are suited to using XML databases will be discussed along with an example.
