Abstract

An improved method and system for processing a structured document stored in a database is disclosed. The method includes identifying strings that are processed by the database, assigning an identifier to each of the strings, storing each of the strings and the assigned identifier in a table in the database, where the table is a global database table, and utilizing the table to replace the strings with their assigned identifiers throughout the database, where the identifiers are used during document processing.
