  • Xquery in IBM DB2 10 for Z/OS
    ® XQuery in IBM DB2 10 for z/OS Introduction In November 2011, support was added for XQuery in IBM® DB2® 10 for z/OS® through APARs PM47617 and PM47618. XQuery extends XPath with new language constructs, adding expressiveness to the IBM pureXML® features of DB2. Many XQuery queries can be rewritten using a combination of XPath and SQL/XML, but often XQuery is the preferred tool, as it is an easier to code and more readable alternative. Like XPath, XQuery is a W3C standard, and its addition is a further step in ensuring compatibility within the DB2 family of products. XQuery has been available in DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows since 2006. Constructs of XQuery XQuery introduces new types of expressions that can be used in XMLQUERY, XMLTABLE, and XMLEXISTS function calls. The XMLQUERY function is used in the SELECT clause of an SQL query to specify which XML data to retrieve. The XMLTABLE function is used in the FROM clause to extract XML data in a table format. The XMLEXISTS function is used in the WHERE clause to specify under which conditions to retrieve the data. XQuery expressions are most applicable with XMLQUERY, because arguments to XMLEXISTS can be specified by XPath expressions, which are indexable, while XQuery expressions are not. XMLQUERY is not indexable. XQuery can be used in XMLTABLE as the row expression or column expressions, but is usually not needed for the relational result. XQuery could be used to construct new XML values for the XML column results. There are three types of expressions that can be used alone or in combination: FLWOR expressions A FLWOR expression is a loop construct for manipulating XML documents in an application-like manner.

  • Multi-Model Databases: a New Journey to Handle the Variety of Data
    0 Multi-model Databases: A New Journey to Handle the Variety of Data JIAHENG LU, Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki IRENA HOLUBOVA´ , Department of Software Engineering, Charles University, Prague The variety of data is one of the most challenging issues for the research and practice in data management systems. The data are naturally organized in different formats and models, including structured data, semi- structured data and unstructured data. In this survey, we introduce the area of multi-model DBMSs which build a single database platform to manage multi-model data. Even though multi-model databases are a newly emerging area, in recent years we have witnessed many database systems to embrace this category. We provide a general classification and multi-dimensional comparisons for the most popular multi-model databases. This comprehensive introduction on existing approaches and open problems, from the technique and application perspective, make this survey useful for motivating new multi-model database approaches, as well as serving as a technical reference for developing multi-model database applications. CCS Concepts: Information systems ! Database design and models; Data model extensions; Semi- structured data;r Database query processing; Query languages for non-relational engines; Extraction, trans- formation and loading; Object-relational mapping facilities; Additional Key Words and Phrases: Big Data management, multi-model databases, NoSQL database man- agement systems.

Many XML documents will be between different applications. As was the situation with transient representations for the purpose of data exchange dynamically created HTML documents, in the new areas there is between different types of applications, but there will also be a not necessarily a need for persistent storage of XML documents. need for effective means to manage persistent XML data as a Often, however, document storage and the capability to present database.
