Adam, Thank you for your helpful response. I am collecting environment data, initially temperatures at a series of locations. One design might be for each XML document to contain a time and a temperature. A set of these could be held in a collection associated with the location (roomA, roomB, ...), together with details of the location (name, use, ...). When processing a temperature record I would need access via the parent node, the collection, to get the location details. My experiments so far indicate that parent relationships change at the collection boundary and hence my original question.=20 I can see ways to avoid this particular problem but I am more interested in understanding the strengths and limitations of XML database developments than in solving a particular problem. Is there a query that will navigate via the parent collection to other documents? Should I be approaching the general problem from a different direction?
