Just a thought: if you're dealing with XML have you also considered the
possible (though by no means certain) benefits of using XML DB to store the
data? There are some similarities between using traditional clustered
tables and storing (possibly shredded) XML into CLOBs or relational or
object/relational tables.
A good source of information is Oracle Ace Marco Gralike's blog. For example
see his 2007 paper on XML storage
options<http://www.liberidu.com/blog/images/oracle-11g-xmltype-storage-options.pdf>;
his page linking to OTN discussions<http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?page_id=241>;
his XMLDB <http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?cat=3> category, etc.
(Disclaimer: My interest in this is theoretical,not practical; I've used
Oracle XML functionality primarily for generating XML from relational, not
the other way round).
