In my experience, most XML records are, in fact, simple tree structures that
are actually easy to represent in SQL. But I don't know about yours.
Certainly the translation of XML --> SQL Tree Structure is no more complex
than XML --> Array, that I can see.

No. It's a proprietary, and probably very expensive, database. There are no
open source OODBs that I know of, partly because of the current lack of
international standards for OODBs.

I don't know. The last time I evaluated XML databases was a year ago, when
there was nothing production-quality in existence. But I don't know what
the situation is now.
