GoXML DB can be deployed as a stand-alone XML repository, or combined with other products such as GoXML Search and GoXML Transform. The Storage Manager stores XML documents as text in a proprietary data store. This "ensures that document structures and relationships are kept intact during any operation." It supports multiple, concurrent sessions, as well as session pooling, and recycles free space automatically, so compaction is not required. In addition, it allows partial document updates and document fragment insertion. The Index System creates and maintains indexes over attribute and element values. These are used by the XPath Query Engine, which supports XPath with proprietary extensions. Queries are optimized to select the best combination of indexes, and complex query support includes "AND and OR predicate processing", as well as "support for complex XPath predicates." Transaction support includes read, write, and update locks, as well as deadlock detection and victim selection. Commits and rollbacks are supported so that the system can recover in the case of a crash. Of note, the Java API includes the ability to bind result sets to single or vector-based variables, making it easier to map XML to objects.
