What is the use of XML in database?

XML databases are a type of document-oriented database that can store and manage XML data efficiently.

There are two main types of XML databases:

  • XML-enabled databases: They are relational databases that can store XML data as tables, columns, or blobs, and provide functions or extensions to convert, query, or manipulate XML data.
  • Native XML databases: They are databases that are designed to store XML data natively, as containers or collections, and provide native support for XML standards and features.
