How can I incrementally import XML documents into the database, using java? And, how can I incrementally retrieve query results and XML documents from the database, using java? Either I am missing it, or XQJ does not allow you to store data into a database. Should I use xmldb API? Or, should I use the native API? If so how do I incrementally read and write, instead of loading everything into a string or reading and writing to/from files? Kendall
