Need for a Native XML Database


Advantages of XML for Information Management

Universal Format for all types of information– XML can represent all types of information from Office Documents to an archival

format for database tables

Self Describing– XML and its associate standards (Schema, Semantic Web) allow for information to be

self-describing and richly typed

Platform and Application Neutral– XML is not dependent on a platform or an application to read it

Separation of Content from Presentation– Supports multi-channel delivery of information

Searching and Retrieval– XML, tagging and XML Query enable better searching, retrieval and dynamic

assembly of information


Options for Storing and Managing XML

Flat files No way to query and processDifficult to update XML fragments

Relational database No structured queries Difficult to update XML fragmentsDoes not support the hierarchal structure of XMLPerformance affected by need to process content

Native XML database Fast and flexible when working with XMLOptimized for XML contentHigh performance


Ask yourself these questions

These are the reasons for embedding native XML database in

your application!

How are you managing your XML content in your application today?Local or network file systems?(Z:\Shared Drive\Application_Files)Storing XML as BLOB in RBMS

How do you retrieve the information?Based on the file path or XML link?

How do you manage and process large volumes of complex XML content?

Are you using traditional SAX & DOM parsers?Is this affecting performance of your system?

How are you transforming XML Content?Are you writing code to create PDF or XHTML renditions?

How are you managing internationalization support?Language support & issues with Unicode characters

Can you track changes in the information?What changed and at what time?What about changes in different snippets of XML files?

How about searching the XML files?Are you trying to create or embed a search engine?Are you searching using XQUERY?

Build or Buy?

Multiple technologies must be integrated to provide a full suite of content services

Your budget and resources get spread very thin.

Complexity and problems at every layer lead to:

Added costDelays in developmentMissed deadlines

Advances in technology are difficult to incorporate in future releases

Maintenance and support become increasingly complex

Where do you want to spend your limited R&D resources and budget


The Value of Native XML Database

Focus on the value of your application, not the infrastructure
