With the rapidly evolving XML technology and thereby
ever-increasing number of XML documents, the importance of
providing efficient tools for managing these enormous amounts of
data is rising every day. Native XML database systems are such
tools. Like other XML database systems they need indices in order
to provide efficient and fast access to the data. These indices
represent redundant data structures in the database and therefore
have to be kept consistent, whenever the underlying base data is
manipulated. Updating fragments of an XML document with automated,
transparent, and efficient index maintenance is the central theme
of this book. Author Harald Burger first analyses the two most
prominent existing proposals for XML updates, namely the W3C's
proposed extension of XQuery with operations for data manipulation
and XUpdate. He then introduces an efficient and simple way to keep
the indices in an XML DBMS consistent: the Simple Update API for
the native XML database management system Infonyte DB. This book is
addressed to professionals involved in XML and database
development. It is also directed towards researchers in the XML
area and beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate students of
computer science.
