Oracle XML DB Repository
Oracle XML DB Repository is a queryable, hierarchically organized repository, which is ideal for managing document- or content-centric documents in various formats including XML. With this repository, you can
Store and view XML content stored in XML DB as a directory hierarchy of folders.
Use the hierarchical metaphors, such as XPath and URLs, to access XML documents and represent the relationships between documents.
XML documents stored in the repository can be accessed through the protocol interfaces such as HTTP, WebDAV, and FTP. In addition, you can access the repository from SQL and PL/SQL scripts using the two public views, RESOURCE_VIEW and PATH_VIEW. We will discuss the Oracle XML DB Repository in detail in Chapter 10 and the memory- and performance-tuning techniques for the repository in Chapter 12.
