This may be writing it off too quickly; I think the great advantage of XML for
a data warehouse would be its ability to ease the inclusion of non-relational
data. A data warehouse that was capable of dealing with information in
multiple formats might well take advantage of XML for storing data that wasn't
necessarily in a table. Data warehousing meets document management: love
match or endless feud?
