Abstract

An extensible markup language (XML) expression included in a query is parsed to yield an abstract syntax tree. The abstract syntax tree is then transformed into a unified tree including XML algebra operations. The unified tree is then converted into a relational tree including enhanced relational algebra operations. The relational tree is then forwarded to a query processor for optimization and execution of the query at the query processor.
