A. Yes, many web sites are currently using ODBMSs. With the projected growth in XML use, it will become more compelling to consider an ODBMS for a web site. The reason is that XML is basically an object model. So, for storing and getting object data, you can’t beat an ODBMS on performance. In addition, you will have reduced development costs because you won’t need to translate the XML into some other storage model. That means that XML plus an ODBMS will make for a high performance web site. Add to this the plans for using XML as a means for business to business transactions and you can see why some people see XML as the killer application use for ODBMSs. Also see XML database articles (new window).
