ABSTRACT:
Techniques for processing reference-based SQL/XML operators are provided. Instead of extracting copies of one or more nodes from XML data, a reference-based operator returns a reference to a node. Such a reference is used to determine, for example, whether the corresponding node comes logical before, after, or is the same as another node. An SQL/XML query that includes a reference-based operator may be the original query, or may be generated (e.g., rewritten) from a non-SQL/XML query, such as an XQuery query. One or more physical rewrites may be performed on the SQL/XML query, depending on how the XML data is stored and/or whether an XML index exists for the XML data.
