Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and program product for providing an efficient mechanism to provide updateable relational views over XML. This will allow application developers to write both queries and updates using a relational (SQL) syntax, even though the underlying data is stored as XML. According to some approaches, this is accomplished by implementing a reverse mapping from the data within the views to the node addresses of the corresponding data in the underlying XML document.
