ShreX: Managing XML Documents in Relational Databases Fang Du, Sihem Amer-Yahia, and Juliana Freire   View Paper (PDF)   Return to DEMO GROUP 3: XML Abstract We describe ShreX, a freely-available system for shredding, loading and querying XML documents in relational databases. ShreX supports all mapping strategies proposed in the literature as well as strategies available in commercial RDBMSs. It provides generic (mapping-independent) functions for loading shredded documents into relations and for translating XML queries into SQL. ShreX is portable and can be used with any relational database backend. ©2005 Association for Computing Machinery
