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!

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. -matt -----Original Message----- From: Farrukh Najmi [mailto:Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM] Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2005 11:00 AM To: Duane Nickull Cc: regrep@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [regrep] Introducing the Raining Data TigerLogic XDMS plug-in for freebXML Registry - from Ash Parikh Duane Nickull wrote: >Ash: > >This is great!

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. >D > >-----Original Message----- >From: Farrukh Najmi [mailto:Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM] >Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2005 5:27 PM >To: regrep@lists.oasis-open.org >Subject: Re: [regrep] Introducing the Raining Data TigerLogic XDMS >plug-in for freebXML Registry - from Ash Parikh > >Ash Parikh wrote: > >>Hi All, >>Here's introducing the Raining Data TigerLogic XDMS plug-in for >>freebXML Registry: >>http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/CaseStudies/RainingData >> >> ><http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/CaseStudies/RainingData> > >> >>Many thanks to Farrukh for all his assistance and guidance in >>developing the architecture and implementation for the plug-in. >> >> >Kudos to Ash, Mohammad and the Raining Data team on the development of >this plugin for freebXML Registry. > >I am excited about this because it is bringing XQuery to and ebXML >Registry implementation for the first time. >As I recall several TC members have expressed interest in supporting >XQuery as a query syntax in a future version of our standard and this >work will allow us to gain valuable experience towards > >that goal. > > -- Regards, Farrukh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
