On Supporting Containment Queries in Relational Database Management Systems

Summary: Containment queries for XML in relational DBMSs vs. an inverted-list engine. Native implementations can rival IR performance under certain conditions; performance hinges on join algorithms and CPU cache behavior, with potential native optimizations.
