## Storing and Extracting XML Data from Oracle8i

XML has emerged as the standard for data interchange on the web. Oracle8i is XML-enabled to handle the current needs of the market.

Oracle8i is capable of storing the following:

- Structured XML data as object-relational data

- Unstructured XML document as interMedia Text data

Oracle8i provides the ability to automatically extract object-relational data as XML. Efficient querying of XML data is facilitated using standard SQL.

It also provides the ability to access XML documents using the DOM (Document Object Model) API.
