Strategies for Encoding XML Documents in Relational Databases: Comparisons and Contrasts.Leonard, Jonathan Lee 06 May 2006 (has links)
The rise of XML as a de facto standard for document and data exchange has created a need to store and query XML documents in relational databases, today's de facto standard for data storage. Two common strategies for storing XML documents in relational databases, a process known as document shredding, are Interval encoding and ORDPATH Encoding. Interval encoding, which uses a fixed mapping for shredding XML documents, tends to favor selection queries, at a potential cost of O(N) for supporting insertion queries. ORDPATH Encoding, which uses a looser mapping for shredding XML, supports fixed-cost insertions, at a potential cost of longer-running selection queries. Experiments conducted for this research suggest that the breakeven point between the two algorithms occurs when users offer an average 1 insertion to every 5.6 queries, relative to documents of between 1.5 MB and 4 MB in size. However, heterogeneous tests of varying mixes of selects and inserts indicate that Interval always outperforms ORDPATH for mixes ranging from 76% selects to 88% selects. Queries for this experiment and sample documents were drawn from the XMark benchmark suite.

XQuery Query Processing in Relational SystemsChen, Yingwen January 2004 (has links)
With the rapid growth of XML documents to serve as a popular and major media for storage and interchange of the data on the Web, there is an increasing interest in using existing traditional relational database techniques to store and/or query XML data. Since XQuery is becoming a standard XML query language, significant effort has been made in developing an efficient and comprehensive XQuery-to-SQL query processor.
In this thesis, we design and implement an <em>XQuery-to-SQL Query Processor</em> based on the <em>Dynamic Intervals</em> approach. We also provide a comprehensive translation for XQuery basic operations and FLWR expressions. The query processor is able to translate a complex XQuery query, which might include arbitrarily composed and nested FLWR expressions, basic functions, and element constructors, into a single SQL query for RDBMS and a physical plan for the <em>XQuery-enhanced Relational Engine</em>.
In order to produce efficient and concise SQL queries, succinct XQuery to SQL translation templates and the optimization algorithms for the SQL query generation are proposed and implemented. The preferable <em>merge-join</em> approach is also proposed to avoid the inefficient <em>nested-loop</em> evaluation for FLWR expressions. <em>Merge-join</em> patterns and query rewriting rules are designed to identify XQuery fragments that can utilize the efficient <em>merge-join</em> evaluation. Proofs of correctness of the approach are provided in the thesis. Experimental results justify the correctness of our work.
