Dear NG,
I am working on a student project about a mobile tourism information system
and among others I have to answer the question whether to use:
- a relational database
- a XML-native database
- a hybrid (XML atop relational database)
Can anyone please provide me with links and preferably article on this topic
(so that I can cite them in my paper)?
Any help is really appreciated because I need a theory-based answer to the
question when to use which system.
Thanks, Markus

Or how about the best of all worlds - a Native XML Database
environment atop an Object/Relational database? - see www.mgateway.com

The relational model involves formal theory that may be readily
referenced (via works by luminaries such as Codd and Date); XML seldom
involves any use of formal theory at all.
Based on that, one may infer that if "theory-based" answers are
required, then the use of relational databases is the _only_ option
due to the paucity of formal theory associated with the other options.

Or RDF and triple stores, for which there's also considerable
theoretical study.

In response to the challenge of generating XML in bulk from a database, XML

This question has been bothering me for some time. A lot of people

Hello,
I'm trying to understand how to map hierarchical XML data to relational
database tables, but I seem to be missing something. I'm not a database
expert, but I know the basics. XML seems so much more intuitive to me,
though.
Anyway, let me make up an example: Say we have an address book, in XML
format, that is to be uploaded by a customer and then mapped into relational
database tables. I would start by creating an XML Schema...

Sorry if this is a issue that has been discussed before but I am not

Say I have something that is very vague in terms of its definition. Like
maybe a purchase order from a customer. Each customer defines its PO
in terms of an XML schema or DTD which is specific but different for
each customer. Also I don't know ahead of time all the customers' DTD's.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
