NATIVE XML DATABASES vs. RELATIONAL DATABASES IN DEALING WITH XML DOCUMENTS
نویسنده
چکیده
When dealing with data-centric XML documents, it is possible to convert XML documents into a relational database, which can then be queried using SQL. Such relational databases are called XML-enabled databases. On the other hand, the best choice for storing, updating and retrieving document-centric XML documents is usually a native XML database (NXD). NXDs store XML documents as logical units, and retrieve documents using specific query languages such as XPath or XQuery. This paper presents different approaches to accessing XML documents from relational databases, as well as from native XML databases. They will be compared based on how general they are in dealing with different types of XML documents and how expressive in stating requests for data, especially recursive queries. Two examples of different types of XML documents are presented. The first one is a part explosion problem as a data-centric example. The second one is a large, highly hierarchical XML document Serbian language wordnet, a lexical-semantic network, as a document-centric example.

As moving to big data world where data is increasing in unstructured way with high velocity, there is a need of data-store to store this bundle amount of data. Traditionally, relational databases are used which are now not compatible to handle this large amount of data, so it is needed to move on to non-relational data-stores. In the current study, we have proposed an extension of the Mongo...

There has been much research about XML storage and information retrieval. Traditionally XML documents are mapped onto relational databases. Then the data can be queried by relational queries. Nowadays many digital libraries store XML documents in a native XML database. Native means that the documents are stored and retrieved in their original format. An important task of such a database is inde...
