Title
Relationally Mapping XML Queries For Scalable XML Search
Abstract
Abstract—The growing trend of using XML to share security data requires scalable technology to effectively manage,the volume and variety of data. Although a wide variety of methods exist for storing and searching XML, the two most common techniques are conventional tree-based approaches and relational approaches. Tree-based approaches represent XML as a tree and use indexes and path join algorithms to process queries. In contrast, the relational approach seeks to utilize the power of a mature relational database to store and search XML. This method relationally maps XML queries to SQL and reconstructs the XML from the database results. We use the XBench benchmark,to compare the scalability of the SQLGenerator, our relational approach, with eXist, a popular tree-based approach. I. I NTRODUCTION XML is a flexible and powerful,tool that enables vital security sharing in heterogeneous,environments,[1]. Since XML can be extended to include domain specific tags, information,can be encoded,with meaningful,structure and semantics that allow rapid information sharing among,devices and organizations. We examine the conventional tree approach and the relational mapping,of XML queries to determine which method,has the potential to search large collections of XML data. We used XBench (http://db.uwaterloo.ca/ddbms/ projects/xbench/index.html) to create a heterogeneous collection of multiple schema,data-centric XML documents. We generated an 8GB collection from the modified XBench templates. The 500MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB collections were created from random subsets of the 1GB, 2GB, 4GB,
