  1. XML Data Storage Joe Carroll Russell Gibbons

  2. Agenda • What is XML • Storage of XML • Benefits of XML Databases • Problems with XML Databases • Discussion

  3. What is XML “XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a W3C initiative that allows information and services to be encoded with meaningful structure and semantics that computers and humans can understand. XML is great for information exchange, and can easily be extended to include user-specified and industry-specified tags.” www.orafaq.com/glossary/faqglosx.htm 

  4. Storage of XML • Character • Relational (shredded) • Native XML

  5. Character • Storage options • Large character fields in DBMS • Flat files • .xml files • Fast insert & retrieval • Poor search

  6. Relational • Data still stored as character • Portions of the data extracted into additional relational tables • Increased parse time • Increased search capabilities

  7. Native XML • Exclusive XML DBMS • Sedna • Timber • Integrated XML DBMS • DB2 • Oracle

  8. Native XML Benefits • XML messages stored in their original format • Documents can be transformed straight from the database via XPath or XSLT. • Increased search capabilities for documents that must be stored as XML.

  9. Native XML Problems • Same problems as hierarchical databases • Many-to-many relationships • Referential Integrity • Difficult to handle within legacy applications. • Increased CPU consumption.
