A possibly useful resource
It’s not that easy to find detailed, vendor-neutral explanations of XML storage in RDBMS. One reason may be that there isn’t much vendor-neutral reality to talk about yet; each implementation is different.
Anyhow, while it’s not overwhelming, I found one book chapter online that’s fairly useful for reviewing one or the other somewhat murky area of the technology. Here’s a link to the section on shredding.
The book in question is a collection of chapters by various XQuery experts, a couple of whom have made strong, direct contributions to my research for this blog. I’m not sure I see the point in buying ANY book about a technology area so ill-defined and fast-changing, especially one over a year old. But if I did want a book, it would be very high on my list of ones to consider.
