Oracle XML DB
Oracle XML DB is a feature of the Oracle Database. It provides a high-performance, native XML storage and retrieval technology. It fully absorbs the W3C XML data model into the Oracle Database, and provides new standard access methods for navigating and querying XML. With Oracle XML DB, you get all the advantages of relational database technology plus the advantages of XML.In Oracle Database 11g Release 2, new capabilities, such as XMLIndex structured component and partitioning, as well as numerous enhancements of Oracle XML DB are introduced to dramatically improve its performance, scalability, XML schema management, and XML information lifecycle management.
