ROX: Relational Over XML

Summary: ROX enables querying XML stored natively through SQL, avoiding XQuery migration and leveraging XML’s storage. It analyzes drivers, denormalization, and optimization; a DB2 prototype shows performance with pre-joined XML storage and join-indexing. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
