[xml-tech] Quelqu'un a essayé les fonctionnalités XML d'Oracle 9i ?

Bonjour,

Quelqu'un a essayé les fonctionnalités XML d'Oracle 9i ?
Des commentaires ?

Pour info, je joins la doc publique que l'on peut trouver sur le Technet

New Extended Markup Language (XML) Features in the Server
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is designed to improve the functionality of
the Web by providing more flexible and adaptable information identification.
It is called extensible because it is not a fixed format like HTML (a
single, predefined markup language). Instead, XML is actually a
meta-language--that is, a language for describing other languages--which
lets you design your own customized markup languages for limitlessly
different types of documents.

Key enhancements in Oracle9i include the following:

XMLType

XML Generation

Arrive Data Types

XMLType
XMLType natively stores XML content and allows XML operations to be run from
SQL.

XMLType enables non-native XML data to be treated as XML by allowing users
to create an XML view over standard database tables, documents, or web
content. Thus, the same high-performance access to XML data is available
whether data is natively XML or is an artifact generated from existing data.

XML Generation
To more efficiently generate XML in bulk from a database, XML generation
capabilities have been moved into the database and application server
kernels and have been made available as built-in SQL operators. The kernel
proximity of these operators ensures massively sustainable throughputs that
are large enough to meet the processing demands of the largest content
repositories or the busiest exchanges.

Arrive Data Types
A universal content model for all kinds of data and documents can be created
through a set of native Arrive data types, which can hold references to XML
documents or fragments either inside or outside the database. Just as
applications locate HTML files using a uniform resource locator (URL), a set
of native Arrive data types can locate native or generated XML content
inside or outside of the database. Universal resource identifier references
play a major role in creating database-backed content repositories, which in
turn can be used to feed portals, archives, or other content management
systems.

Oracle XML Developer's Kit
Oracle9i features several enhanced database operations to store XML using
SQL and to render traditional database data as XML. These functionalities
are required to support business-to-business and business-to-customer
e-business, packaged applications, and internet content management. The main
area of XML support in Oracle9i is built-in XML Developer Kits (XDKs).

With pre-loaded Java and the C XDK linked into Oracle9i, developers are
easily able to access World-Wide-Web Consortium (W3C) functionalities that
generate, manipulate, render, and store XML-formatted data in Oracle9i. Also
available in PL/SQL and C++, XML developer kits provide XML/XSLT parsers,
XML schema processors, XML Class Generators, XML Transviewer Beans, and the
XSQL Servlet to allow developers to quickly enable their applications for
XML.
