Abstract
Techniques for managing XML data in an SQL compliant DBMS include receiving an SQL statement. The SQL statement includes a particular operator that operates on a first instance of XML type that represents a first set of XML elements. During execution of the SQL statement, the particular operator is evaluated by generating an ordered collection of instances of XML type. Each different instance in the ordered collection is based on a different XML element from the first set; and there is an instance in the ordered collection for every XML element from either the first set or from the first set and its descendents. When descendents are included, each entry in the ordered collection indicates a level in the XML tree. In another aspect, an aggregate operator in the SQL statement operates on a collection of instances, with associated levels, to generate a single instance of XML type.
