Shred XML Documents Using DB2 pureXML: Two Methods for XML Decomposition in DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows 2008-01-03 IBM

This paper focuses on ways to "Shred" XML data in DB2. Shredding is the process of mapping XML elements and attributes into relational tables and columns. One way to shred in DB2 is through the use of an annotated XML schema. If the XML data contains an XML schema, it is the easiest and fastest way to perform decomposition. If the mapping is significantly complex and involves multiple tables, existing tools automate both the mapping and decomposition steps. Another, perhaps less-known, method for shredding is through the use of the SQL/XML function XMLTABLE. It is useful when an XML schema does not exist. Using the XMLTABLE function can be more complex since the decomposition steps must be manually coded.

New File Standard Is a Perfect Fit for Fashion House 2008-01-01 Microsoft Tips

Paul Smith is one of the United Kingdom's most respected and commercially successful fashion houses, with retail stores as far afield as Tokyo, Paris and New York. At the beginning of 2007, Bingham started researching the likely future of file standards, including a beta trial of the 2007 Microsoft Office system, which uses the Ecma Office Open XML specification. A full deployment of the 2007 Office system to all employees followed in August the same year and the company saw immediate benefits. Built-in ZIP compression in the new Open XML Formats, for instance, makes files smaller.

Add a Collection of RSS Feeds 2007-12-01 Microsoft

Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 supports the .opml file format for exchanging a collection of RSS Feed configuration information between programs that can organize and display RSS Feeds. Such programs are known as RSS aggregators. Office Outlook 2007 includes the functionality of an RSS aggregator. A collection of RSS Feeds is shared by exporting it to an XML file with the .opml file extension and sending the file to the other person. One can attach the .opml file in an e-mail message, copy the .opml file to a network shared folder that both people have access to, or copy the .opml file to removable media such as a disk, CD, or a memory device.

Managing Complex XML Data in Oracle XML DB 11g 2007-12-01 Oracle

Over the past few years, XML has emerged as the new standard for data transmission, and its use is becoming more prevalent as companies continue to adopt XML-based solutions. As more organizations begin to enforce XML standards for all data transmission, increasingly complex XML formats are emerging. These complex formats can include multiple namespaces, thousands of elements, and recursive definitions. As the XML documents produced from these formats grow in size and complexity, managing this content has become increasingly challenging, with limited information available on how to address this challenge. In this paper, the user will learn how to use the XML DB feature in Oracle Database 11g to manage complex XML content as well as its advantages over commercial ETL products.
