Our goal is | ultimately to provide both a SQL-flavored and an XQuery-based | query *syntax* for XML content in Oracle leveraging the same | underlying database engine via appropriate query rewriting. That | common underlying engine is now production. See (#2). | | (2) This week -- over two years in the making -- Oracle announced | the release of Oracle9i Release 2, with major new native database | support for XML, and made the software available for download for | eight different platforms. Key new features include: | | -> Single database engine supporting all existing datatypes | (relational, SQL99 objects, data warehousing, geospatial, | time-series, multimedia, etc.) integrated with a *new* native | XMLType...all sharing a common SQL query language (extended for | XML), common maintenance, transactions, backup/recovery, etc. | | -> Support for forthcoming ISO SQLX standard extensions to SQL for | constructing XML in SQL including the operators XMLElement(), | XMLAttributes(), XMLForest(), XMLAgg(), and XMLConcat() | | -> Full W3C XML Schema 1.0, XPath 1.0, XSLT 1.0, and DOM Core | support for native XMLType datatype implemented deep inside the | engine and exposed to SQL, PL/SQL and Java API's. Users can | augment built-in processing of XML documents with stored | procedures, functions, and triggers as for any other types and | tables. | | -> Automatic Object/Relational Storage for XML documents based on | XML Schema, with optional fine-tuning of the mapping via Schema | Annotations (already supported in XML Spy 4.3 tool). Includes | optional support for full DOM fidelity and mixed content | storage. | | -> SQL extensions for XPath-based extract(), extractValue(), | existsNode(), and updateXML() operators for manipulating | documents, including the ability to rewrite a subset of XPath | expressions to use underlying object/relational indices and | full-text indices for maximum performance. | | -> Plus a lot more. | | A more complete overview of what's new for XML functionality is at: | | http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96620/whatsnew.htm | | Full documentation is online and searchable in HTML and PDF formats at: | | http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/index.htm | | Technical overviews and whitepapers are available at: | | http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml/xmldb/content.html | | You can download a developer's licensed version for experimentation on | any/all of the following eight platforms: | | (*) WindowsNT/2000/XP | (*) Sun SPARC Solaris (32-bit) | (*) Sun SPARC Solaris (64-bit) | (*) Linux | (*) AIX (64-bit) | (*) AIX5L | (*) HP-UX | (*) Compaq Tru64 | | At http://www.oracle.com/start/dbrev2/intro.htm | | Any technical questions can be posted in our "XML Discussion Forum" at | http://www.oracle.com/forums | | It's been hard not being able to talk about all of this new | support for more than two years. The cat is finally out of the bag! :-) | | Enjoy. | | __________________________________________________________ | Steve Muench - Developer, Product Mgr, Evangelist, Author | Simplify J2EE and EJB Development with BC4J | http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/j2ee_bc4j.html | Building Oracle XML Apps, www.oreilly.com/catalog/orxmlapp | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an | initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> | | The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ | | To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription | manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl> | |
