XML support in informix

Hi, I am a student, and we have a host of Informix products as part of our educational grant. The project we are doing requires data to be in XML. We were using POET for this purpose till now. Since we got an Informix grant, we want to use informix as our data server. Before installing and using these products, I would like to clarify the following isses, as we dont know much abt informix, please help us in making this decision. a. xml support: does Informix support XML. b. data blade for xml: Do we have to write a data blade to a. save the xml into database, b. query the database and get result in xml, or does informix handles this for you. c. Informix Dynamic Server with UDO or Informix Universal Server: We have got these two servers, what is the difference between these two, and which one of these will serve the purose for our project( which is full support of XML) Thanks G Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
