Abstract

This session offers a comprehensive technical update of Oracle's latest advances in high-performance XML database technology, including rich database support for XML Schema, XPath, XSLT, and SQL/XML, and Web Services. Live demos will illustrate the technology in use, and how the various choices available for XML storage, querying, and management can positively impact the performance of document-centric, data-centric, and mixed-used applications. The talk will include coverage of technologies still in Beta like Oracle's JAXB, XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery implementations, as well as highlight the transformation performance gains made possible by our XSLT Virtual Machine technology.
