Column-oriented Database Systems and XML Compression
Tyler Corbin, Tomasz Müldner, Jan Krzysztof Miziołek · 2014
With the renewed industrial and academic interest in Column-Oriented Database Management Systems, a lot of interest has been shown in the area of software optimizations designed to improve the efficiency of queries in the Column-Oriented domain. Meanwhile, XML database management systems are often considered in the context of mapping its hierarchal structure to the relational domain to allow efficient querying upon the XML structure. However, by examining the relationship between specific XML Compression techniques and Column-Oriented Databases Systems, we can reduce the vast overheads in organizing XML in relational entities. This paper examines said relationships and presents a lightweight XML Database System derived from XML Compression, based on Column-Oriented Database architectures.
