In my own experiments some time ago I found that the mos ficient serial
format for a document was - guess what - XML. I found it was significantly
quicker to reparse the XML than to serialize" the serialized DOM, largely
because the XML is far smaller.
I've used the technique of breaking up the XML docum into logical units
(e.g. a single entry in a dictionary) and storing each as an XML fragment in
a VARCHAR field, having copi ny attributes that are significant for query
purposes into separate columns of the table.
Another technique you don't menti s to store the DOM as persistent
objects in an object database. I haven't had the chance to compare that. It
should work wel theory.
