Title:  XML-to-SQL Query Translation

Abstract:

Developing techniques for managing and querying the growing body of XML
data is becomingly increasingly important. A popular approach to
evaluating XML queries is to translate them to SQL and then use a
relational database system to evaluate the result. In this talk, I will
describe two of my contributions in designing good XML-to-SQL query
translation algorithms. Experiments with a commercial relational
database system show that the SQL queries output by our algorithm can be
far more efficient than the queries output by previous translation
algorithms.
