Efficiently Publishing Relational Data as XML Documents

Summary: Publishes relational data as XML by constructing XML inside the RDBMS, avoiding post-processing. Proposes SQL scalar/aggregate extensions and an 'outer union plan' for XML content; experiments show in-engine XML generation yields notable gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
