[mapguide-internals] improving the tilecache storage mechanism with an addtional one

[Tom Fukushima]

Steve (or anyone who knows),

Does SQLite have the XML support that we need?  For example, I know we have an "index" such that given a resource, you can find all the resources that reference it (we take advantage of the fact that all our XML schemas use the exact same element name ResourceId to reference resources).  I'm not sure what other things we need.

Since "replacing our resource repository" seems to come up a lot, perhaps it would make sense to have a wiki page that lists the requirements of the repository.

They are working on the obscurity problem by adding support for the SQLite SQL API in their latest release:

I think it's recognition by Oracle that BDB has finally lost against SQLite.

I wouldn't have any problems with that :)

BDB has always felt sketchy to me, especially with the security-by-obscurity
raw database access, but also because I feel totally lost with their archaic
backup/restore mechanisms.  Combine those with a nasty "commercial
distribution" licencing gotcha, and replacing it really makes a lot of sense
to me.
