Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: XML databases
And, you know... While I really don't like saying this...
Access 2003 really doesn't do a half bad job with XML. It ISN'T EVER going to be an Oracle... much to the dismay of at least one very senior professor that comes to mind (can you say QUERY BY EXAMPLE?)... but as far as being a quick way to see how an XML document can be used in a database, M$ could get some of the Access programmer to work on SQL Server projects.

Subject: RE: XML databases
There are some upset customers waiting on the next version of SQL Server, for sure. Just like happened on version 7. Never learn, do we? I don't care, because I like Oracle's database. :-)
And, come on guys, be optimisic (e.g. Do as I say, not as I do...), etc. As M$ says, "you never know what will come out next, so get a subscription now. Its our money anyhow. We're trustworthy." (IMHO)
M$' best XML database (to date) has a current version and its called MS Access 2003. ;-)
