XML is here as the internet standard for information exchange among e-businesses and applications. With its dramatic adoption and its ability to model structured, unstructured and semi-structured data, XML has the potential of becoming the data model for internet data. In the recent years, Oracle has evolved its DBMS to support complex, structured, and un-structured data. Oracle has now extended that technology to enable the storage and querying of XML data by evolving its DBMS to an XML enabled DBMS -Oracle8i.In this paper, we will present Oracle's XMLenabling database technology. In particular, we will discuss how XML data can be stored, managed, and queried in the Oracle8i database.
