摘要:
A system which combines sequential and iterative source code is provided. The system decides which type of processing would be most suitable for all portions of the source code, regardless of type. The system can adjust that decision based on the specific nature of the constructs within the source code, and can also adjust that decision based on the platform upon which the resulting executable program will run.

Transformation of a set of XML documents via an XSLT stylesheet is made more efficient by rewriting the stylesheet at compile-time, based on the structural description of the set of XML documents, into an optimized stylesheet containing fewer dynamic template-matching calls than the original stylesheet. This rewritten stylesheet can be further rewritten into a set of XQuery expressions. At compile-time, the particular transformation templates that are appropriate for transforming the particular nodes contained in the set of XML documents are determined, and XSLT calls to the templates are converted to calls to corresponding XQuery user-defined functions. Determination of the appropriate transformation templates may be based on the structural description of the input set of XML documents, such as an XML Schema or Document Type Definition. The data from each template is translated into corresponding XQuery constructors, instructions from the template are translated into XQuery expressions, and the XQuery functions are inlined if possible.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for automatically analyzing and providing feedback regarding the optimizability of a relational database query. A query developer's primary goal is to ensure that queries and DML operations are rewritten for the most efficient execution. Rewrite diagnosability captures metadata for each attempted query optimization including success or failure and the reasons for failure. The metadata is stored in association with the operators that were not removed through rewriting. Once all optimizations have been attempted and rewriting is complete, the metadata is selectively displayed based on the cost to perform the associated operation. The context of performing the operation may affect the cost. The cost may be based at least on the type of operation and where within the query tree the operation is located. A query developer may configure the database system not to execute the resulting query plan based on one or more criteria.
摘要:
Techniques are provided for searching within a collection of XML documents. A relational table in an XML index stores an entry for each node of a set of nodes in the collection. Each entry of the relational table stores an order key and a path identifier along with the atomized value of the node. An index on the atomized value provides a mechanism to perform a node-aware full-text search. Instead of storing the atomized value in the table, a virtual column may be created to represent, for each node, the atomized value of the node. Alternately, each entry of the relational table stores an order key and a path identifier along with, for simple nodes, the atomized value, and for complex nodes, a null value. For a complex node with a descendant text node, a separate entry is stored for the descendant text node in the relational table.

Techniques are described herein for automatically generating multiple interrelated database tables to store XML data, while ensuring that each such table has no more than the maximum DBMS-allowed number of columns. In response to the registration of an XML schema with a database server, the server determines whether any of the elements specified in the XML schema are complex elements that have more than a threshold number of descendant elements. If a complex element has more than the threshold number of descendant elements, then the server automatically generates one or more separate “out-of-line” database tables for storing at least some of those descendant elements, so that the table created to store the complex element will have no more than the permitted number of columns. Each of the out-of-line database tables is similarly generated so as to have no more than the permitted number of columns.

摘要:
A method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for efficiently registering a relational schema. In co-compilation and data guide approaches, a subset of entities from schema descriptions are selected for physical registration, and other entities from the schema descriptions are not physically registered. In the co-compilation approach, a first schema description references a second schema description, and the subset includes a set of entities from the second schema description that are used by the first schema description. In the data guide approach, the subset includes entities that are used by a set of structured documents. In a pay-as-you-go approach, schema registration includes logically registering entities without creating relational database structures corresponding to the entities. A database server may execute database commands that reference the logically registered entities. A request to store data for the entities may be executed by creating relational database structures to store the data.
摘要:
A method and apparatus is provided for efficiently searching and navigating XML data stored in a relational database. When storing a collection of XML documents, certain scalar elements may be shredded and stored in a relational table, whereas unstructured data may be stored as a CLOB or BLOB column. The approach includes identifying a reference address to within an XML tree index entry and storing the address in an xmltable index. The tree index entry allows for navigation in all axes. A path-based expression may be evaluated in the context of the reference address of the LOB. The result of the evaluation identifies another XML tree index entry containing a LOB locator used to retrieve the content from the document. The tree index, node index, and secondary function indexes are used together to enhance the performance of querying the XML data.
