Description

Within a very short amount of time XML has become an essential part of almost every developer's arsenal of tools. It has affected every area of software. One of the fields where the impact of XML is still being worked out is in the world of databases and data management. Will XML and native XML databases replace traditional relational databases? How can XML be used as a tool to make relational databases even stronger? This book is intended to address these questions. It provides a discusssion of the various XML data management approaches employed in a range of products and applications. The book is based on a series of presentations at last year's OOPSLA conference. Topics covered range from using XML with Oracle9i or SQL Server to embedded XML databases to Tamino. Individual chapters are written by experts in those fields. In all cases the authors use concrete, practical examples, explore alternative approaches, and examine their strengths and weaknesses.

"This is an excellent book that combines a practical and analytical look at the subject."

--Leo Korman, Principal Software Engineer, KANA Software

As organizations begin to employ XML within their information-management and exchange strategies, data management issues pertaining to storage, retrieval, querying, indexing, and manipulation increasingly arise. Moreover, new information-modeling challenges also appear. XML Data Management--with its contributions from experts at the forefront of the XML field--addresses these key issues and challenges, offering insights into the advantages and drawbacks of various XML solutions, best practices for modeling information with XML, and developing custom, in-house solutions.

In this book, you will find discussions on the newest native XML databases, along with information on working with XML-enabled relational database systems. In addition, XML Data Management thoroughly examines benchmarks and analysis techniques for performance of XML databases.

Topics covered include:

  • The power of good grammar and style in modeling information to alleviate the need for redundant domain knowledge
  • Tamino's XML storage, indexing, querying, and data access features
  • The features and APIs of open source eXist
  • Berkeley DB XML's ability to store XML documents natively
  • IBM's DB2 Universal Database and its support for XML applications
  • Xperanto's method of addressing information integration requirements
  • Oracle's XMLType for managing document centric XML documents
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000's support for exporting and importing XML data
  • A generic architecture for storing XML documents in a relational database
  • X007, XMach-1, XMark, and other benchmarks for evaluating XML database performance
  • Numerous case studies demonstrate real-world problems, industry-tested solutions, and creative applications of XML data management solutions.

    Written for both XML and relational database professionals, XML Data Management provides a promising new approach to data management, one that is sure to positively impact the way organizations manage and exchange information.
