[bdb at oss.oracle.com]

Oracle is pleased to announce:

           Berkeley DB XML 2.3
 
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/xml/index.html

Berkeley DB XML 2.3 is new release with significant new features, bug 
fixes, and performance improvements.

    1. Performance
       - an improved node storage format
       - enhancements to the query optimizer and execution engine
       - support for multi-version concurrency control document
         containers
    2. XQuery implementation is compliant with the Proposed
       Recommendation from the W3C
    3. Improved integration with various languages and external
       XML parsers

This release of Berkeley DB XML improves many aspects of query planning 
and execution.  Using indexed node storage, users will generally 
experience significant speed increase.  A new event-style layer allows 
for tight coupling between Berkeley DB XML and other XML processing 
code.  This greatly enhances integration with programming languages and 
XML parsing libraries by eliminating the need to create and then 
re-parse XML content.  The W3C XQuery 1.0 specification is nearing 
completion and this release of Berkeley DB XML is compliant with the 
current Proposed Recommendation.

Berkeley DB XML is an excellent solution for mid-to-edge tier as well as 
device resident XML storage and management providing sophisticated 
database features in an embeddable solution.
