Most if not all of what you have said comes down to perceived unacceptable overhead because of XML verbosity. And what I have said all along is that I agree it is verbose. And what I have said all along is that there is more to XML that the size of the stream. I have said that if middleware processes are talking XML too, by having an XML aware database you can avoid an impedence mismatch between the middleware and the database. I have said too that XML offers a very effective and often thorough mechanism of data validation. And does this validation carry a cost? .

Does data validation of XML against a schema carry cost. Yes. Does data validation in data stored relationally in stored procs etc carry a cost. Yes.

Ie, manipulating data in a database has a validation overhead and this overhead is not something idiosyncratic of XML!

You may not like it Daniel but this **is** a development trend in Web and Oracle. And this is the subject title of all the messages in this thread.
