Folks,
We are developing a financial system, it will deal mainly with xml(Fpml) files, so I think the best thing to do is using a xml db, we are evaluating some db, including Berkeley, MarkLogic, Sedna and of course Basex, Berkeley is open source but we can't use, you need to pay for that, MarkLogic is expensive, Sedna I don't know much and Basex looks great. My questions are: 1 - MarkLogic says support pentabytes of data, Berkeley says support up to 256TB, and Basex supports up to? 2 - How stable Basex is? 3 - Is it safe for financial institutions?
Feel free to give me more information you believe is important.

Check the statistics page in wiki [1]
2 - How stable Basex is?
It's rock solid!
3 - Is it safe for financial institutions?
Of course!
Feel free to give me more information you believe is important.
Now, seriously.
Regarding stability: we try to make BaseX as stable as possible. However, it's a complex system and there might be bugs. On the other hand, the core dev team is very small and we are concentrated on features/bugs which we consider critical. Therefore, if you or the organization which you represent want a certain feature/fix, you are welcome to contribute either with code patches or financially. If you give us more detail about how you intend to use BaseX, maybe we could give you more detail if it will work and what difficulties you might face.
Regarding safety: I'm not sure what you mean with "safe for financial institutions". BaseX does not contain malicious code, but again you'll have to elaborate a little bit more on what requirements you have.

Hi,
I have read statistics Im in doubt about FileSize column, is it a limit for only one document? about our financial system, it is a back office system, it will Fpml files, that are xml files, it will deal with trades internally that are xml. when I say "Is it safe", I mean once a data is persisted it won't be lost, even db is handling a large amount if data..

Hi Henrique,
thanks for your e-mail. Yes, BaseX has users and customers in all kinds of areas, including the financial sector. Regarding your question if BaseX is the best framework in your scenario, I guess there's no plain and simple answer for that, as it depends on too many factors (number of transactions or updates, types of queries to process, amount of database instances, etc.). Some of the queries, which are being processed with BaseX, and which access only a few kilobytes of data take longer than other queries, which are being performed on database instances with a few gigabytes..
..which is I would recommend to start off with some prototyping, and give us feedback on your first experiences. That's actually the path that most of our long-term users have chosen.
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________
