XML Enabled Databases
XML enabled databases typically offer one or more of the following approaches to storing XML within the traditional relational structure:
- XML is stored into a CLOB (Character large object)
- XML is `shredded` into a series of Tables based on a Schema
- XML is stored into a native XML Type as defined by the ISO
RDBMS that support the ISO XML Type are:
- IBM DB2 (pureXML)
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle Database
- PostgreSQL
Typically an XML enabled database is best suited where the majority of data are non-XML, for datasets where the majority of data are XML a Native XML Database is better suited.

Famous quotes containing the word enabled:
“Are we aware of our obligations to a mob? It is the mob that labour in your fields and serve in your houses—that man your navy, and recruit your army—that have enabled you to defy the world, and can also defy you when neglect and calamity have driven them to despair. You may call the people a mob; but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
