XML in Non-XML Databases

• XML is stored in
  • OO databases
  • relational databases
  • object-relational and hierarchical databases
• XML tags not there or hidden in fields or globs
• All the useful database features
  (storage, search, metadata, inheritance, referential integrity)
• Getting XML out
  • built-in utilities to create XML from relational data
  • requires mapping of XML to fields (maybe non-trivial)
