ABSTRACT:
A system and method for assigning attributes to XML document nodes to facilitate their storage in relational databases and the subsequent retrieval and re-construction of pertinent nodes and fragments in original document order is provided. Since these queries are performed using relational database query engines, the speed of their execution is significantly faster than that using more exotic systems such as object-oriented databases. Furthermore, this method is portable across all vendor platforms, and so can be deployed at client sites without additional investments in database software.
