Everything about XML database
Database presenting data in XML formats
An XML database is a data persistence software system that allows data to be specified, and stored, in XML format. This data can be queried, transformed, exported and returned to a calling system. XML databases are a flavor of document-oriented databases which are in turn a category of database.Relational database management systems continue to support XML storage and processing alongside relational data. For example, Microsoft SQL Server supports an XML data type and XML schema collections, which can be used to validate XML documents and provide type information for stored data. Wikipedia →
