Subject: RE: [regrep] Introducing the Raining Data TigerLogic XDMS plug-in for freebXML Registry - from Ash Parikh


Matt, Duane,
Thanks for wishes! 

Like Farrukh, I remain excited about this development as I am seeing tons of
use cases and customer requirements cropping up on a daily basis from the
field espcially for usage scenarios in which relational databases will just
not cut it.

Articles like this continue to provide proof points for this:
http://www.acmqueue.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=335
http://www.computerworld.com/databasetopics/data/software/story/0,10801,1037
06,00.html

The rest will possibly be history very soon as XML Databases and XQuery
continue to gain momentum and I am sure Raining Data's TigerLogic XDMS with
the industry's most evolved XQuery Engine will be a part of redefining how
things happen in the back-end. 

Till then I enlist your support and well wishes as the veritable pioneers in
this field.

Cheers!

Subject: RE: [regrep] Introducing the Raining Data TigerLogic XDMS plug-in
for freebXML Registry - from Ash Parikh

This is all ancient history now, but earlier versions of the XML Global
registry were backed with XMLG's native XML Database.  At some point at XMLG
we had reports from the field that our customers wanted to leverage their
existing RDBMS investments, so we moved away from our proprietary XML
Database and started supporting RDBMS systems instead.  The XQuery
functionality didn't rank too high at that point with our customers, so we
didn't adapt it to RDBMS backed systems.

One thing I have noticed over the years is that a lot of the cool features
end up being infinitely less important than performance and scalability.
Since moving to Adobe in 2003, my registry mentality has been driven by the
requirement to make registry calls as fast as remote filesystem calls, under
extreme load.  I've learned a lot, and I am convinced that a lot of work
needs to be done to bring the ebXML Registry standard into the enterprise
space in a serious way.

Take for example something that seems rather innocuous -- a separate
Identifiable object.  A flick of the wrist in your UML tool can add a JOIN
to 80%+ of a registry's calls.

Anyway, I'll stop ranting now.

Thanks for setting the historical record straight on this Duane and Matt
:-)

Just to be clear. I think it was not Ash, but I, who said that:

"I am excited about this because it is bringing XQuery to and ebXML Registry
implementation for the *first time*."

I had never heard anything before about XQuery support in XML global's ebXML
Registry and should have figured that those brave pioneers could have
ventured into XQuery space earlier :-)

But what is important is that all of us 3 colleagues have given our
congratulations to Ash and the Raining Data team for their important
announcement.

Finally, we should as a TC, also recognize the significance of the Eco
System of commercial products and VARs that is coming of age around our
specifications.
