The Modis Team has released
Sedna 3.2,
an open source native XML database for Windows and Linux written in C++ and Scheme
and published under the Apache License 2.0.
Sedna supports XQuery and its own
declarative update language. Chnages in this rleease include:
- The persistent heap was discarded. All metadata is stored in the same way as data.
- The XQuery parser was rewritten
in Flex/Bison for improved XQuery conformance.
- Rewritten Deadlock detection algorithm.
I haven't had the opportunity to use Sedna myself, but I've heard good things about it
from some folks who have. Likely worth a look.
