Tailor-Made Native XML Storage Structures

Abstract. Automatically choosing suitable native storage structures for XML documents arriving at the XML DBMS is a challenging task for its storage manager. While some of the critical parameters require pre-specification, others can be determined by pre-analysis or sampling of the incoming document or by just making experience-driven “educated guesses”. In this paper, we discuss approaches to achieve an adaptive behavior of the storage manager to provide tailor-made native XML storage structures to the extent possible.
