Editorial Reviews:
Key Findings:
- XML content needs to be stored in a manner that it can be searched and retrieved back in XML format. This seemingly simple requirement has profound impact for existing data storage technologies.
- Expenditure on XML Storage solutions will grow from $75 million in 2000 to over $4.1 Billion (US) in 2005
- XML-enabled RDBMS vendors consumed only 15% of that market in 2000, but will consume over 65% of the total expenditure by 2005.
- Native XML Data Store (NXD) vendors will realize around $1.6 Billion in revenue by 2005
- The primary methods in use today for storing XML documents include XML-enabled (or extended) relational databases, NXDs, Content Management stores, and file systems.
- NXDs will increasingly become a solution of choice for storage of document-oriented XML content as well as Web Services, B2B messaging, and other transactional formats.
- RDBMS vendors will continue to add XML support to their systems to provide users a way to leverage their existing storage assets.
- XML Query standards will mature over the next 6-12 months.
- The integration and use of Web Services within XML data store vendors will determine the future of XML-enabled RDBMS vendors and NXD providers.
- Companies should base their storage architecture decisions on the amount of XML they are producing and the extensibility of that data.
- Relational and XML data differ in many, significant ways. The implication is that these two, very different data types may require two, very different storage solutions.
