Re: Postgress & XML

Added to TODO:

* add XML interface capability

Hello Bruce,
I was browsing in your postgres page TODO list and saw no reference
at all about XML. Although I am aware of the importance the other tasks
in the list have, I strongly believe XML support should be somewhere in
the plan. XML is an excellent way to define Object-Relational
structures (which i believe is a goal of the postgress project) and an
open standard for exchange of information between applications,
especially e-business ones. Some recommended reading is the IEEE Data
engineering workshop proceedings (2000) where you can read about the
work of researchers of IBM, Oracle, Informix and Microsoft on the
subject.
I cannot volunteer for the project at this time because i am
initiating another open source project, i just wanted to share this
thought.

Keep up the excellent work on postgres,
Congratulations on the benchmarking results reported on Apachetoday.

Titos Dragonas.
