I get XML feeds as input and have to store this data on our server. I
have worked with databases but new to XML. Can someone tell me how I
can store and manage this data?

Assuming that you have no choice however, when I have been forced to
deal with XML storage directly I have found Oracle tools to be
adequate..

Depends on what you want to do with it, what kind of data it is, what
type of servers you have available or have to use. In general, if the
RDBMS you use already has XML capabilities, that is probably not a bad
choice.

Hey, we haven't had an actual XML bashing thread in a while;
can we do that now? I'll start. Instead of trotting out my old
favorites, I have a new one I heard the other day.

"The programmer has a problem. His software needs a configuration
file. So he uses XML. Now the programmer has two problems."

A lot depends on what you want to do with this data. At the
low end, maybe it's enough to just record the strings. At the
other extreme, perhaps you need a complete schema for
the data coming in, and want to transform the data from
its XML hierarchy into a relational form.

Ok, so why is it exactly cdt, despite the inherent flaws of a
hierarchical model such as XML, it has seen such widespread uptake?
