XML has become an attractive data processing model for
applications. SQL/XML is a SQL standard that integrates XML
with SQL. It introduces the XML datatype as a native SQL
datatype and defines XML generation functions in the SQL/XML
2003 standard. The goal for the next version of SQL/XML is
integrating XQuery with SQL by supporting XQuery embedded
inside SQL functions such as the XMLQuery and XMLTable
functions. Starting with the 9i database release, Oracle has
supported the XML datatype and various operations on XML
instances. In this paper, we present the design and implementation
strategies of the SQL/XML standard in Oracle XMLDB. We
explore the various critical infrastructures needed in the SQL
database kernel to support an efficient native XML datatype
implementation and the design approaches for efficient
generation, query and update of the XML instances. Furthermore,
we also illustrate extensions to SQL/XML that makes Oracle
XMLDB a truly industrial strength platform for XML processing.
