อะไรคือ pureXML ?

DB2 9 stores XML data in its native form instead of shredding it into relational tables, as other vendors have done in the past. That's why IBM calls it pureXML. Storing XML this way makes it easier and faster to access and modify. In DB2 9, both tabular (relational) and hierarchical (pureXML) storage models are supported through common engine components. Client applications that need to work with SQL and XML data can use either SQL/XML or XQuery statements (or both). Full support for DB2 transaction semantics, security mechanisms, and distributed computing constructs (such as stored procedures) are supported for both SQL and XML data.
