Welcome to the future's Databases!!

This is a great book, very useful for programmers, database developers, students, system architects, and anyone else who wishes to effectively use, design, or build XML databases. A basic knowledge of XML and databases is assumed, and the focus of this book is on pulling them together. Some advanced techniques are described in this book and the presentation is fairly dense in those areas.The book covers variety of topics like: How to design a schema for an existing XML DBMS beginning with the concepts of the field being modeled and resulting in compatible schemas for XML documents, relational databases, and object-oriented applications. How to store XML data in a relational DBMS, object-oriented DBMS, or flat files, and how to make decisions on which approach to choose. How to design a system architecture that contains an XML database, Web server, and user applications. How to develop a user interface for XML data accessed via a Web browser or Java application. How to query an XML database and what algorithms support XML database querying. How to create a native store for an XML DBMS.
