XML databases add XQuery, SVG capabilities
X-Hive have released a demo of an XQuery implementation, while Ipedo
have announced
a new version of their database, including SVG management
capabilities.
X-Hive's query implementations works over XML documents stored
in the X-Hive/DB database, still an unusual claim among existing
query implementations. It claims to implement 74 out of the 78
XQuery use cases. The demo is available on X-Hive's web site.
Version 2.0 of Ipedo's
XML Database includes several new features geared towards
content-driven XML applications. They include:
-
Free-text searching over XML documents
- SVG management: includes image search and dynamic image inclusion
- Distributed database management
- Intregrated XSLT transformation
- Large document processing (up to 1GB)
Ipedo XML Database 2.0 is a commercial product. More information
is available from
their web site.
Re: XML databases add XQuery, SVG capabilities (Hugh Elgar - 15:37, 26 Oct 2001) The X-Hive XQUery demo is truely impressive. Re: XML databases add XQuery, SVG capabilities (G. Schnell - 20:00, 25 Oct 2001) X-Hive's XQuery implementation is very impressive! I've tested M$ and Software AG's XQuery implementations before, but they don't even come close to this new implementation.
Very interesting is the use of the XMach-1 cases, curious to see how the other XML databases perform on this benchmark, both in XQuety conformance as well as general performance.
