Meta Data RDBMS combined with XIndice

[Alex McLintock <al...@OWAL.co.uk>]

Hi folks,


I'm pretty impressed with XIndice for retrieving XML docs for my Apache 
Cocoon based web app (even though I don't have dynamic updating of 
documents yet).
However I am not so impressed with the speed of metadata retrieval.

I'd like to cache such things as the documents' author, title, publisher, 
topic, date,  and so on in a relational database so that the relational 
database can do things like list all the authors, or list all the titles.

Surely this is a fairly common requirement - so is there a standard 
application or system for this?

Thanks

Alex McLintock
