Is there a database for UIMA/CAS?

Hi folks,

is there any such thing as a database from which UIMA could fetch a  
complete CAS,
do further processing on it and store it back there? The database  
would have to
support some way of querying the CASes stored in it.

I have been googleing for something like this but ended up finding  
nothing, though
I have a dim memory of having seen references to some kind of  
database when I was
first reading about UIMA. Unfortunately I don't find the text anymore.

What about serializing the CAS to XMl (XCas/XMI)
and using a specialized XML database?

I am exploring storing it in a BLOB field. It of course does not let you then search CASes based on their say... annotations or type systems, but if you are interested in just storing and retrieving CASes it works just fine.
