It's almost the only non-open-source software we use. I am already looking into alternatives for the future; this makes it even more urgent. (Recommendation to anyone in my position: take a close look at EnterpriseDB's latest technological advances.)

If someone wants great XML storage then they should look at Mark Logic as a great alternative to Oracle XML DB. Nope, we see little demand for XML storage, our V 8.3 has support for XML data type.

But I recognize that #1, the core RDBMS where EnterpriseDB claims compatibility, is the big one. Actually, here's a question that I might as well post here: Does EnterpriseDB provide technology that replaces Oracle XML DB for native XML storage and retrieval? If not, do you see demand for this capability? I admit that my question stems from a narrow concern, the ability to manage XML-annotated text in the DBMS without shredding the XML and mapping the data into relational tables.
