Groups: XML SIG of the Object Developers Group(ODG) Abstract: "XML and Databases" XML, touted as a 'universal syntax' of information, has seemed from its beginnings to be an obvious tool for inter-database communication, for database publishing to the Web, for the mapping of complex data to relational tables -- in short, for expressing efficient translations between data and documents. The question is how large a role XML can, or should, play in the overall scheme of data management. Some think that the data repository itself should be XML documents, while others at the opposite extreme regard XML as simply a transient messaging format. Is an XML document logically reducible to normalized relational tables, or does it force us to use much less well understood object databases? What are the advantages, and the shortcomings, of XML for such routine database tasks as queries, sorts, bulk updates and reporting? This session will examine these questions and try to find several ways in which XML can provide database tools which are immediately useful. Bio: Walter Perry is Managing Director of Fiduciary Automation, which provides services and software to support complex transnational financial settlements and to produce from them multi-jurisdictional reporting satisfying management, auditing, compliance and tax and other regulatory requirements. He has wrestled with most hardware since the 360/45 and the PDP-8 and with an even wider variety of operating systems and languages. He is now happily object-oriented. Walter holds a B.A. from Columbia University and a PhD. from Trinity College, University of Dublin. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
