Pathfinder: Compiling XQuery for Execution on the Monet Database Engine.
Jens Teubner · 2003
The W3 Consortium is currently developing the XQuery specification to query XML data. It is still unclear, however, how these data can be stored and retrieved efficiently. We propose an XML storage and query execution system that is based on the main memory database system Monet. This paper describes a technique to compile an entire XQuery expression into a program that can then be executed on the Monet system.
