An Efficient Algorithm for Transforming XML Schema into Relational Schema
Abad Ali Shah, Amjad Farooq, Syed Ahsan · 2010
The Web and XML have influenced all walks of life especially those that involve business activities over the Internet. People like to do their business activities and transactions from their homes to save time and money. Many business and commercial companies such as insurance companies and banks maintain their records using relational database management systems. But the traditional relational database technology is unable to provide all these new facilities to the users. To enable the traditional relational database technology to cope with the new challenges of the Web and XML technologies, we need a transformation between the XML technology and the relational database technology as a middleware. To achieve this objective, we already proposed and reported an algorithm. In this paper, we extend our previous work and present automation details, testing, and performance report of our proposed algorithm. The result shows that the implementation of the algorithm is more efficient than the existing algorithms for the same purpose (Journal of American Science. 2010;6(11):24-37). (ISSN: 1545-1003).
