XML-DB2 Guidelines

XML is gaining popularity for persisting complex data and is frequently used in web-enabled applications and as a means of data transmission. This chapter introduces you to the basics of XML and provides an overview of pureXML, IBM’s implementation of XML support embedded in DB2.

A comprehensive treatment of DB2 pureXML would require a book length treatment, and it is not the intent of this book, or this chapter, to provide an exhaustive treatment of DB2’s support for XML. If you are looking for an introduction, this chapter is a good starting place. References for additional pureXML research are provided at the end of the chapter.
