IBM DB2 9 Data Server Expands XML Presence
By CXOtoday Staff
Mumbai, Dec 8, 2006
IBM has introduced a series of quick start software bundles for the DB2 9 data server to meet new standards for handling Extensible Markup Language (XML) data. It will enable clients to adapt to their information management environments.
This series of software helps database administrators and software developers to load XML industry exchange messages and schemas more easily. It also defines XML queries and indexes for business applications.
The first of these bundles are based on specific industry XML standards that support Financial Information Exchange Markup Language (FIXML) and Financial products Markup Language (FpML), which are formats developed for the financial industry.
"One of the key features of DB2 9 is the ability to handle both relational data as well as XML," said Bernie Spang, director, IBM data servers.
The pureXML capability of DB2 9 provides the ability to store, update, delete, query, and index well-formed XML. Users can retrieve entire XML documents or document fragments by incorporating XPath, XQuery, and SQL into their queries. They can also register XML schemas and instruct DB2 to validate XML documents against these schemas.
These technologies will be available for free download on alphaWorks.
