XML view is proposed to integrate between XML data and heterogeneous data over distributed environment and global XML view is used to search distributed heterogeneous data. At this time, standard query language for user is XQuery and the method for processing global XQuery queries over distributed environment is one of the new research topics. One of the basic and simple methods to process distributed SQL queries is that generates local queries for processing a global query and constructs the result of the global query from the results of the local queries. However, the syntax of XQuery differs from SQL because the XQuery contains some special expressions like FOR clauses for querying to semi-structured data, of course, FOR clauses are not used in SQL. Therefore, there are some problems to adopt the method for processing global SQL queries for generating local XQuery queries. This paper defines some problems when generates local XQuery queries for processing global XQuery queries and proposes a method for generating local XQuery queries considered these problems. Also we implement and evaluate a Global XQuery Processor which uses our method.

This paper introduces the development XPERT(XML Query Processing Engine using Relational Technologies) which is based on relational model. In our system we have used a decomposed approach to store XML files in relational tables. XML queries are translated to SQLs according to the table schema, and then they are sent to the relational DBMS to get the results back. Our translation scheme produces AST(Abstract Syntax Tree) by analyzing XQuery expressions at first. And on traversing AST proper SQLs are generated. Translated SQLs can reduce the number of joins by using path information and utilize dewey number to preserve document originated orderings among compoments in XML. In addition we propose the efficient algorithms of XPath and XQuery translation. And finally we show the implementation of our prototype system for the functional evaluations.
