I am trying to verify that when a side table is created, it is not referencing the corresponding xml document, but it actually a copy of the data. So for every side table column the data is actually in two places. The first being the xml enabled column and the second being the side table.

I am looking into space (dasd) and performance questions surrounding xml extender before a desision to use it is made.

Thanks,

jb

Hi

I think it depends on which method you
are using to transform the Data from column (XML file)
to side table.

If you use the the dxxshredxml() stored procedure,
relational data will be physically generated in
the side tables, if you have constructed the
correct DAD file using the RDB_node method.

Sincerely Yours
