Hi Peter, To avoid the delays when entering XPath you need to disable the XPath content completion Options->Preferences -- Editor / Content Completion / XPath -- Enable content completion in XPath expressions. oXygen supports eXist and Berkeley XML DB in all editions, the Enterprise version covers the commercial databases.

Hi again,
Well, I got to try it. It loads very quickly (once I'd increased the allocated memory), but unfortunately it's infeasibly slow in operation. Doing anything other than just opening/closing a node by clicking on the +/-, freezes the interface for a noticeable length of time.
Searching for data is also really slow. The kind of thing we want to do is to locate, say, a student with a particular HUSID to check data errors discovered for that student's entry.
Entering an XPath query like (with an, obviously, invalid HUSID):
(/Institution/Student/HUSID[.='999999999999'])
... took several minutes, with the interface freezing after the entry of each forward slash.
It's certainly better than the editor and we may use it: but it's still very slow. It took me three or four minutes to make a query of the kind shown above.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter,
oXygen provide also a tree based editor that is available as a tool, see
Tools->Tree Editor (CTRL+T) and also as a separate application see the Oxygen Tree Editor (treeEditor.exe) launcher. Please try also that and see if that helps.
It will be interesting for us to perform some tests with your file that you had problems with so if you can make that available please let us know on support@oxygenxml.com how to get access to it (it will not work to just attach it to an email).
One thing that may render the format and indent on open useless is the possible presence of an xml:space="preserve" attribute eventually on the
root element or on some element with a large content.
Best Regards, George
