Efficient XML Updates

Focusing on the challenges of managing vast amounts of XML data, the book explores the necessity of efficient indexing in native XML database systems. It discusses the importance of maintaining consistency in these indices during data manipulation. Author Harald Burger analyzes leading XML update proposals, including W3C's XQuery extensions and XUpdate, before presenting the Simple Update API for Infonyte DB, which offers a streamlined method for automated index maintenance. This work addresses the growing need for robust tools in the evolving XML landscape.
