APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRE-PROCESSING MAPPING INFORMATION FOR EFFICIENT DECOMPOSITION OF XML DOCUMENTS

摘要

Pre-processing mapping information for efficient decomposition of an XML document for storage in a database. A mapping document is received that describes how all of (or a portion of) an XML document is to decomposed, the mapping document is transformed into a data structure for decomposing an XML document, and the data is made persistent for use with a subsequent decomposition operation that decomposes an XML document.
