docbook processing from a database

[Dave Pawson <davep@dpawson.co.uk>]

Has anyone tried processing XML source held in a database? Obviously an
xml database.

With a goal of chunked html, I can see the problems.
I'm thinking of something like
xquery the [appropriate chunk level] out to get the id values.
Generate the toc using those, then iterate through the [chunk levels]
processing one [say chapter or section or topic] at a time.

Seems doable. Anyone see any big holes?

My higher level goal is processing large files. My biggest document
is only 120Kwds, possibly 150Kb, but I'm sure the time will come
when people are processing large files. 

Just curious.
