Abstract
Techniques are provided for mapping XML data and metadata from data in relational databases. According to certain embodiments of the invention, a mechanism is provided to allow the user to use a database query to retrieve data form a relational database in the form of XML documents by canonically mapping object relational data to XML data and canonically mapping object relational schemas to XML-Schemas. The mechanism causes the generation of XML-schema information for the XML documents.
