Abstract: The referential integrity constraint (RIC) is one
of the key constraints that exists in every data model.
Current XML database management systems (XML
DBMSs) do not completely support this type of constraint.
The structure of an XML document can contain the
information about the relationship between elements, but
modern XML DBMSs do not perform automatic RIC
verification during database operations execution. It is
therefore necessary to implement and perform additional
actions to provide a fully functional validation of the
referential integrity constraint. In this paper we discuss
different structures of XML documents, and their impact on
the referential integrity constraint. We also present two
types of its implementation in XML databases: using
XQuery functions and triggers. Those techniques
correspond to the characteristics of a selected XML DBMS. |
