anyone using Xindice as a warehouse?

[Terence Kearns <te...@cts.canberra.edu.au>]

One of the things my work has asked me to do is look into creating an 
enterprise wide XML cache. We have so many disparate systems providing 
mass-storage facilities to our applications -- LDAP, X500, Ingres, 
MySQL, Oracle. All the information is spread out but when building apps, 
we often need to access information that cuts accross all of them.

We could build a standard warehouse but I want to evaluate the idea of 
an XML warehouse.

It would make sense only if your data across all these repositories are 
already stored as XML.
And I'm not sure eXist or Xindice can handle enterprise loads, they seem 
to pan out at about 30000 and 100000 smallish documents respectively.
You might get better with Sleepycat, but they don't have an XML:DB api 
in place yet., if that's important.
I'd advise something commerical like x-hive or the Oracle XML layer 
(although their xml db seems very slow for large collections)
