A Model Mapping Approach for storing XML documents in Relational databases
Pushpa Rani Suri, Divyesh Sharma · International Journal of Computer Science Issues · 2012
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used for representing data over the web. Storing XML documents in relational databases uses two kinds of approaches: Model mapping and Structured mapping. This paper explores a model mapping approach for storing XML data in relational database which use two tables in it: Node table and Data table. Node table stores all node id’s along with node names. Data table stores corresponding node values in it. We also propose an algorithm that shows how the nodes of the XML document are stored in terms of tables in database.
