Hi all, I was just wondering if there is  way or some sort of utility to
incorporate XML in postgrres.
Thanks in advance.

This question is about as generic as "Is there a way to incorporate ASCII
in Postgres?"  Depending on what you want you might find Cocoon useful.
See <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/index.html>.

What do you do if a new DTD comes along that does not fit your schema? It
would seem that Postgres' object-oriented capabilities might come in
handy here. Haven't really thought about it too deeply but that appears
to be a case where it's cool to make a new table that inherits from the
original one to fit the new. Am I way off target or could anyone chip
in with examples?
