- XForms and Ruby on Rails at the Doctor's Office, Part 1: Setting up IBM DB2 9 pureXML by Michael Galpin - [Clicks: 29]
This is the first article in a four-part series about using XForms, IBM DB2 pureXML, and Ruby together to more easily create Web applications. In this series you will develop a hypothetical application for managing patient information at a doctor's office. You will get a taste of the individual strengths of each technology, but you will also see how to integrate them together. In this first part of the series, you will examine how XForms, DB2 pureXML, and Ruby on Rails can all help more rapidly build XML-centric Web applications.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xformsruby1/index.html - Dec, 2007 - Overview of new DB2 Version 9.5 pureXML enhancements by Manoj Sardana - [Clicks: 31]
This article describes IBM DB2 version V9.5 pureXML enhancements and new features for Linux, Unix and Windows. DB2 Version 9 supports XML as a native data type and has the support for SQL/XML and XQuery language along with other features like schema support, publishing functions, XML support for utilities, decomposition and the like. DB2 V9.5 enhances some of these features and introduces new features to make XML handling more easy and efficient. This article explains these enhancements and new features in the context of how it will make XML handling more efficient and easier to use.

One of the most significant new features in IBM DB2 9.5 for Linux, Unix and Windows is the XML update functionality. The previous version, DB2 9, introduced pureXML support for storing and indexing of XML data and querying it with the SQL/XML and XQuery languages. Modifications to an XML document were performed outside of the database server followed by an update of the full document in DB2. Now DB2 9.5 introduces the XQuery Update Facility, a standardized extension to XQuery that allows you to modify, insert, or delete individual elements and attributes within an XML document. This makes updating XML data easier and provides higher performance. This article describes the new XML update functionality, presents examples of typical XML update operations, and discusses how to avoid common pitfalls.

Walk through the steps for creating a sample IBM DB2 application that uses the XML model to integrate data from different data sources. Learn how to expose your database stored procedures as Web services so that they can be accessed through SOAP calls. Follow a Web-oriented architecture that assembles information kept behind different organization firewalls. This "Lego" approach to application architecture not only enables integration of diverse data sources, but also helps you to rapidly assemble vertical applications. Once again, you see that the technology that makes all this possible is XML, and the best way to exploit it is the XML data model of programming.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0709singh/index.html - Sep, 2007 - XMLTABLE by example, Part 2: Common scenarios for using XMLTABLE with DB2 by Vitor Rodrigues, Matthias Nicola - [Clicks: 19]
XMLTABLE is one of the most powerful functions in the SQL/XML standard and is available in IBM DB2 9 for Linux, Unix, and Windows as well as DB2 9 for z/OS. In part 1 of this two-part series on XMLTABLE you learned how to use XMLTABLE to retrieve XML data in relational format, how to deal with repeating or missing XML elements, and how to handle namespaces in the XMLTABLE function. Part 2 describes common XMLTABLE usage scenarios, such as shredding XML into relational tables, splitting large documents into smaller ones, producing hybrid XML-relational storage of your XML documents, and using relational views over XML data. These techniques and samples will help you develop powerful XML applications with DB2 9 pureXML.

DB2 pureXML provides hierarchical storage for XML data and advanced XML query capabilities such as SQL/XML and XQuery. SQL/XML is a standardized extension of the SQL language so that XQuery or XPath can be embedded in SQL. This allows for integrated processing of XML and relational data, or conversion from one to the other. One of the most versatile functions in SQL/XML is XMLTABLE. In part 1 of this series, learn to use XMLTABLE to retrieve XML data in relational format. Discover how to manage repeating or missing XML elements, and how to handle namespaces in the XMLTABLE function. Part 2 describes common XMLTABLE usage scenarios such as XML shredding, splitting large documents into smaller ones, and relational views over XML data.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0708nicola/index.html - Aug, 2007 - pureXML in DB2 9: Which way to query your XML data? by Matthias Nicola, Fatma Ozcan - [Clicks: 15]
DB2 9 introduces pureXML support, which means that XML data is stored and queried in its inherent hierarchical format. To query XML data, DB2 offers two languages, SQL/XML and XQuery. You can use XQuery and SQL separately, but you can also use XQuery embedded in SQL and vice versa. This gives you a lot of flexibility and options for querying your XML data. Each of these options is useful under certain circumstances. In this article we describe these options, their respective advantages and disadvantages, and guidelines for choosing the right one for your needs. This article has been updated for DB2 9.5.
