A generic prototype for storing and querying XML documents in RDBMS using model mapping methods

Abstract

this paper a generic prototype for storing and querying XML data in any RDBMS using model mapping methods is proposed. In this prototype the latest researched model mapping method SUCXENT and free of cost available technologies MySQL, PhpMyAdmin and PHP classes are used as the examples. Otherwise being a generics solution any model mapping strategy to translate XML document into relational schema, any RDBMS as backend and any programming language for processing and front end can be used. As the proposed prototype is using SUCXENT so it will be proved to be an efficient solution with respect to Query processing specially recursive XML queries and updating. Instead of XPath, XQuery query processor is used for the querying of XML data as it is going to be standard XML query language
