摘要:
A mechanism is provided for detecting and disregarding application specific nodes contained in shared XML documents. The techniques described involve determining one or more application specific nodes within XML documents and performing path expression evaluations of the XML documents as if the nodes are not present. In one embodiment, a mechanism is provided by which a user may specify the criterion that determines which subset of nodes in XML documents are to be ignored from path expression evaluations. A query that specifies a path operation based on a path is evaluated ignoring said identified nodes when evaluating said path operation.

Techniques are provided for indexing XML documents using path subsetting. According to one embodiment, a PATH table created for storing one row for each indexed node of the XML documents using user-defined criteria. The user-defined criteria are used to determine which nodes of XML documents to included in The PATH TABLE. The PATH table row for a node includes (1) information for locating the XML document that contains the node, (2) information that identifies the path of the node, and (3) information that identifies the position of the node within the hierarchical structure of the XML document that contains the node. Use of the user defined criteria is transparent to any query improves DML indexes overhead costs.

摘要:
Techniques are provided for utilizing partition pruning for XML indexes. The computer-implemented method comprises storing XML documents in a document table, which is equi-partitioned with a corresponding index table, and wherein the partitioned document table and the partitioned index table can be searched using a query comprising a partitioning pruning directive.
摘要:
Populating an XML index is parallelized, providing both inter-document and intra-document parallelism, by using multiple pull-type parser processes to parse respective XML documents in parallel and to call respective ‘instances’ of the function that generates the index entries based on parsed XML node information. The function is configured to operate according to a cursor-type interface model, whereby each function instance can operate on one node at a time in a controlled pull manner rather than in an uncontrolled streaming manner. Hence, the index load procedure flow can be in the control of an application or routine, via the pull parsers, rather than in the control of a serial stream-based parser.

摘要:
A mapping mechanism for a primary B+tree in a database management system. The primary B+tree includes a plurality of rows. The mapping mechanism includes introducing a mapping table that includes a plurality of rows, including a row for each row of the primary B+tree, and that stores the logical identifier of the corresponding primary B+tree row. In addition, reverse mapping is provided by augmenting a primary B+tree to include in each primary B+tree row a physical row identifier of the corresponding mapping table row. An auxiliary structure created on a primary B+tree can make use of the proposed mapping mechanism. Specifically, the auxiliary structures refers to primary B+tree rows indirectly by storing the physical row identifier of the corresponding mapping table row.
