摘要:
Instances of complex types are logically replicated. In general, the logical replication of complex types involves converting a complex type instance from its storage format into a logical representation written in a markup language, like XML. The logical representation is then propagated to a destination (or destinations), which converts the logical representation to a storage format used at the destination for that complex type.

A method and apparatus for optimizing XML queries over heterogeneous XML tables is provided. A query that targets a container (e.g. table or collection) that contains a plurality of XML documents is received, wherein at least two XML documents in the plurality do not conform to the same schema. Based on the received query, a plurality of execution plans is generated. Each execution plan is associated with a different XML schema. An execution plan is used to execute the query relative to those XML documents that conform to the XML schema associated with the execution plan.
摘要:
A method for optimizing functions is described. A query including an invocation of a function is received. A function declaration indicates that the function is associated with a first set of datatypes. At compile-time, static type-checking is performed on the query. During the static type-checking, a second set of datatypes is determined for the function. The second set of datatypes includes the datatype of each argument of the function that is specified in the invocation. The query is compiled, where compiling the query includes compiling the function with the second set of datatypes.

A method and apparatus for processing queries is provided. A query is received at a mid-tier node of a multi-tier system. The mid-tier node includes a mid-tier cache that is configured to cache relational tables from one or more databases managed by a database server in a database tier of the multi-tier system. At the mid-tier node, a determination is made whether the received query includes an operator for requesting data of an XML datatype from the database server, where the XML datatype is supported as a native datatype by the database server. If a determination is made that the query includes such operator, then one or more portions of one or more relational tables are retrieved from the database server and stored in the mid-tier cache. The one or more relational tables store, in the one or more portions, index information associated with the requested data of the XML datatype. The received query is rewritten into a relational query against at least the one or more portions of the one or more relational tables that are stored in the mid-tier cache.

摘要:
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.

A computer is programmed to accept queries over streams of, data structured as per a predetermined syntax (e.g. defined in XML). The computer is further programmed to execute such queries continually (or periodically) on data streams of tuples containing structured data that conform to the same predetermined syntax. In many embodiments, the computer includes an engine that exclusively processes only structured data, quickly and efficiently. The computer invokes the structured data engine in two different ways depending on the embodiment: (a) directly on encountering a structured data operator, or (b) indirectly by parsing operands within the structured data operator which contain path expressions, creating a new source to supply scalar data extracted from structured data, and generating additional trees of operators that are natively supported, followed by invoking the structured data engine only when the structured data operator in the query cannot be fully implemented by natively supported operators.
