7. Oracle XML DB

8.  Marco Gralike
Principal Database Consultant
DBA; Specialized Oracle XML DB
AMIS Services BV, Holland
 Oracle experience since 1993
 Oracle ACE Director
 OakTable Member

12. Oracle XML DB

13.  Storage and handling of XML data
• Optimized storage for structured, semi-structured and unstructured
data
• Build-in Standard Gateways to the outside world:
▪ WebDAV, HTTP, FTP, SOAP Webservices
▪ (Binary) XMLType support in Oracle Streams
▪ XMLType API’s for C / Java / .Net
 Reasons
• Complies to almost all (W3C) XML standards
• Build-in XML Aware Repository
• Versioning Capabilities
• Security build-in (ACL / On top off the known relational features)

14.  Relational data to XML conversion capabilties
• XML can easily be exposed via Webservices etc.
• Buildin Standard Gateways to the outside world:
▪ WebDAV, HTTP, FTP, Native Database Web Services
▪ (Binary) XMLType support in Oracle Streams
▪ XMLType API’s for C / Java / .Net
▪ UriTypes
 Reasons
• Adaption of current systems to the XML / SOA world
• International Format Standards of Sharing Data (XML Taxonomy)

15.  Database content shared via Native Database Web Services as part of a
Service Orientated Architecture
• Decoupled
• Stateless, etc
 Reasons
• Adaption of current systems
• SOA “API” compliant  SOAP, WS*
• Web browser compatible

16.  The historical data storage for end-of-life systems
• Data Sources: relational, hierarchical, network, object orientated
databases
• Data Target: The Oracle XML Database
 Reasons
• Data still needed
▪ * Fraud Investigation
▪ * Mash-ups
• Ease of Sharing Data for example via Webservices
• Dutch Law: Deletion of Historical Data allowed after 7 years
• Intelligent ways to search (Unstructured) Data

17.  XBRL Extension capabilties
• XML Business Reporting Language
• Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.2 and onwards
• Why build the functionality if it has already been done?
▪ No extra cost / a no cost option
▪ Extention can be downloaded via http://support.oracle.com
 Reasons
• Following the official standards
• Supported and further optimized
• Quick start…

20.  Based on XML Standards:
XPath , XSLT, XQuery ,
XQuery Update (11.2.0.3) , XBRL (Extention)
 XML Handling
Stores, Consumes, Generates, Validates
 XDB Repository
HTTP(s), FTP & WebDAV

 No Cost Option, Core database feature

21. • File Storage Oracle XML DB
• XML Database  A World within a World
• C / Kernel  More then one Option
• XML Enabled  Complies to Standards
• Native & more  License Free
 Core part of (OXJR)DBMS
• An XML Parser
 The (relational) foundation is
does not have there and can be used for
a dictionary solving XML “imperfections”

23. DBA
WSDL
PL/SQL
? SOAP SOA

SQL
XQuery
Easy: a few steps, no other software installation and no coding
Secure: HTTP authentication and easily integrate with WS Security Products
High performance : C-based engine, natively build in to the Oracle DB
