XML-to-SQL Query Translation

Abstract

Developing techniques for managing and querying the growing body of XML data is becomingly increasingly important. A popular approach to evaluating XML queries is to translate them to SQL and then use a relational database system to evaluate the result. In this talk, I will describe two of my contributions in designing good XML-to-SQL query translation algorithms. Experiments with a commercial relational database system show that the SQL queries output by our algorithm can be far more efficient than the queries output by previous translation algorithms.

Rajesekar Krishnamurthy is a faculty candidate.
