SQL/XML
Oracle
Database 10g supports SQL/XML standard features, which are new
in SQL 2003 standard as Part 14. SQL/XML standard defines
how SQL can be used in conjunction with XML in a database, including
detailed definition of a new XML type, the values of an XML
type, mappings between SQL constructs and XML constructs, and functions
for generating XML from SQL data. Since Oracle Database 9i Release 2,
SQL/XML features have been supported as an integral part of the Oracle
SQL engine, which also provides additional SQL extensions
to support querying, updating, and transformation of XML data. As a
founding member, Oracle continues to drive the SQL/XML committee
efforts to standardize these extensions. |
