[xquery-talk] question about XQUERY C++ API

[Michael Kay]

I should think the performance will be fairly dreadful. Simply parsing each
of the documents, let alone running a query against them, is going to be
very time-consuming.
 
If you must store the documents as blobs, you should consider doing some
application-level indexing - that is, extract key features of the document
to store in separate columns of the table, and do pre-filtering in SQL using
these attributes to reduce the number of XML documents that you need to
examine.
 
Can't help you on the C++ side, I'm afraid.

Subject: [xquery-talk] question about XQUERY C++ API



Hello

 

We need help from people who are familiar with XML filtering.

 

 We store XML documents as blobs in the database.  Since we have to support
Oracle, Sybase and MS SQL we can not use db vendor specific XML
functionality.  Each document can be up to 18KB and there could be 100,000
of the documents in the database. 

 

 We need to implement filtering in our C++ application for the data stored
in the DB (i.e we need to return to the calling application a subset of the
documents that satisfy filter criteria).  We plan to load XML documents into
memory one by one and then use XQUERY to filter out documents that do not
satisfy filter criteria.  Can someone help us with the following questions:

 

 1.   Is there a C++ API we can use for XQUERY processing?

 2.   Any idea what performance will be like?

 3.   Is there a better approach to our problem?

 

  

 

  

 

 Your help is greatly appreciated
