Re: [Exist-open] eXistDB for Large Collections

[\ <lis...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I was hoping to get some help with the issue I raised in my last mail below.
Thanks !

One additional thing. I was to make my document collection available online
for search and querying (by lay users not familiar with XPATH/XQuery). What
platform/language would you recommend to do this?

Thanks again.
Andy
