Relational databases get more and more employed in order to store the contents of a web site. At the same time, XML is fast emerging as the dominant standard at the hypertext level of web site management, describing pages and links between them. Thus, the integration of XML with relational database systems to enable the storage, retrieval and update of XML documents is of major importance.
