From XML view updates to relational view updates: old solutions to a new problem

Summary: XML views (selection, projection, nesting, grouping, heterogeneous sets) via query trees mapped to relational views. XML view updates translated to relational updates; apply existing relational updatability theory to decide and translate to the base DB. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
