Data scheme

schema-free

schema-free and schema-optional

Strong typed schema

yes

dynamic column types

Flexible Schema (defined schema, partial schema, schema free)

defined schema within the relational store; partial schema or schema free in the Aster File Store

Typing

predefined data types such as float or date

yes

not rigid because of 'dynamic typing' concept.

yes

XML support
