Is it possible to use Sql Server XML columns as a substitute for a real Document DB (such as Couch or Mongo) ?
If I were to create a table with a guid PK Id and an XML column for the document.
What would be the main problems compared to using a document DB?
Sql Server supports indexing over XML columns so querying should not be completely horrible?
I’m doing some experimenting with this on:

Query speed is ‘decent’ , it’s nothing I’d use for scaling.
But the joy of schema free storage running on standard infrastructure is quite nice.
