Hi,

I'm developing a native XML database (C++) (which is supposed to become
open source one day) and I'm wondering wheather I could use GiST for it's
indexes. Is GiST still alive?

Also, I'm looking for a database that I could use for my XML database.
Right now, I'm using a custom IO layer. Right now, it doesn't seem to be a
problem, because transactions, etc. are not supported yet. I already took
a look at some of the native xml databases such as apache xindice and
exist, but they don't seem to focus on performance and scalability, as I
do.

Would PostgreSQL fit that requirement? And are you interested in having a
fast, scalable XML access method?
