XML数据在关系数据库中的存储技术地研究.pdf

ABSTRACT As powerful extensibility and self-description ability of XML, more and more developers have employed it as the main mechanism for transforming data on networks. As a matter of fact, XML file is inherently a structure for storing information, and it incapable of processing all the date it holds. By transforming the XML data to relational data, and using the powerful data manipulation ability of relational database, we can get a considerable processing result. As an important target, many researchers have laid their attention on reducing the response time of data processing. Base on edge-mapping, this paper proposes an XML data storage mechanism. The mechanism can effectively transform the XML data to more power relational data, specifically: (1) Different from the mechanism of separate-value-table, this paper specifies and clarifies the document tree according to the node type of the XML document. By doing this, we can improve the reliability of XML document reconstruction. (2) By employing the strategy of combining the order number and the path of each node, we can specify the path information of each node. This further improves the performance for querying XML document. (3) At last, based on this storage mechanism we construct and implement a database prototype. This mechanism can effective reduce the size of underlying data storage; meanwhile reduce the response time of data processing. This mechanism can also improve the accuracy when we come to reconstruct the XML documen
