  3. Your application XML Document DB2 XML Extender DAD DB2 tables DB2 XML Extender Overview Document Access Definition (DAD) specifies how to map XML documents into tables

  4. Feature 1: XML Column • A whole XML document is stored in a table column • The DAD can identify elements and attributes to be indexed (in side tables) for fast access. SQL data type conversion is supported. • You can retrieve the whole document or specific elements/attributes identified by XPath expressions. • Validation on input XML documents is supported. • Appropriate for XML documents that have irregular structure and are not frequently updated. • XML Extender can be used together with Text Extender to provide full-text search (stem-matching, etc.) for XML documents. <?xml version="1.0"?> <!--DOCTYPE Order SYSTEM "Order.dtd"--> <Order key="1"> <Part key="1"> <Customer>37</Customer> <Status>O</Status> <Price>131251.81</Price> <Date>1996-01-02</Date> <Priority>5-LOW</Priority> <Clerk>Clerk#000000951</Clerk> <ShipPriority>0</ShipPriority> <Comment>first part</Comment> </Part> </Order> order_tab Order Invoice 356 Example: Select db2xml.extractDouble(order, '/Order/Part/Price) from order_tab where invoice = 356

  5. <?xml version="1.0"?> <!--DOCTYPE Order SYSTEM "Order.dtd"--> <Order key="1"> <Part key="1"> <Customer>37</Customer> <Status>O</Status> <Price>131251.81</Price> <shipment> <Date>1996-01-02</Date> </shipment> <shipment> <Date>1999-11-26</Date> </shipment> </Part> </Order> ship_tab order_tab date part_key Key Order part_tab Status Price Customer Order_key Key • XML document is generated or decomposed from or into a set of tables, linked by primary and foreign keys. • Each table represents a repeating group of elements in the document. • Permits update of individual elements and attributes inside a document. Feature 2: XML Collection

  6. The DAD controls the mapping: • SQL Statement method: an SQL statement generates XML by joining the underlying tables. • RDB-Node method: Each XML node is mapped individually to a table and column. • Documents can be generated or shredded based on specified conditions. • Dynamic override of conditions is supported. • Appropriate for XML documents that have a regular repeating structure. • Also appropriate for presenting an XML view of existing DB2 tables. Feature 2: XML Collection (Con't) Access Method: Stored Procedure calls through JDBC, ODBC, Embedded SQL.

  7. DB2 tables XML Transform XML Document Feature 3: XML Transform • A method of producing XML documents from information stored in a IBM Universal database. • Specifies a language for transforming DB2 database information into XML documents, and a means of invoking transformations at a DB2 server. • The lightweight transform language is similar to XSLT (W3C XSL Transformations), providing specific constructs for retrieving information from DB2 databases. • The language is not intended to be a full transformation language, or a rival to XSLT, but simply a way for IBM customers to generate nontrivial XML documents from their data servers.

  8. Summary • Provides storage, retrieval, and update of XML documents in a single column. • Composes existing DB2 data into XML documents. • Stores XML documents as a collection of DB2 data, in multiple columns and tables. • Manages your DTD repository. • Extracts XML elements and attributes into traditional SQL data types, leveraging DB2 sophisticated indexing and SQL query. • Provides a wizard for easy administration. • Supports international code pages. • Support platforms of AIX, Linux, NUMA-Q, Solaris, UNIX, Windows 2000 and Windows NT, OS/390(V6), AS/400(V5R1).
