| XML database update
The dbXML Project have released beta 2
of their Core XML database; IXIASOFT
have released TEXTML Server 2.0, and X-Hive's XML database has found employment in
Formula 1 motor racing.
- The dbXML Core is an open source native XML database, aimed at managing
large collections of small XML documents. It supports XPath queries, and
implements the XML:DB XML Database API. It is licensed under an
Apache-style open source license.
This second beta release of dbXML core includes "significant
enhancements" to capacity and stability, according to Kimbro Staken of
the dbXML Project. He writes that the server "has now been validated with
over 1 million documents in a single collection and with several hundred
collections each containing thousands of documents." The database can be
found at the dbXML web site. A mailing list is
also available.
- Canada-based IXIASOFT have
released TEXTML Server 2.0. The latest release of this Windows-based
product adds performance and scalability enhancements, as well as Unicode
and numerical data indexing support.
- X-Hive's database, X-Hive/DB, has
been adopted by the Renault Benetton Formula 1 team as the native XML
storage foundation for their new race care analysis system. X-Hive have
posted a case
study on their web site.
