Question about collections

[James Bates <ja...@amplexor.com>]

In a usual path to a xindice collection, such as

xmldb:xindice:///db/hello/subhello

I know the first piece (db) isn't really a collection, but a database. I'm wondering: is the database
considered to be a collection itself? Can it contain anything other than collections, such as XML resources,
or XML Objects?

Yes it is a collection, just by default it can't store documents because 
it doesn't have a filer associated with it.
