Sedna: Native XML Database Management System (Internals Overview)

Summary: Sedna is a native XML DBMS built from scratch for large XML corpora, using a schema-based clustering storage that speeds querying and updates. It also introduces a novel memory management technique to enable native XML storage beyond relational/object mappings. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
