XML is rapidly spreading as a standard for data representation and exchange, and XML documents are adopted in various applications. According to this trend, researches in database has also focused on efficient storage and retrieval of XML documents. Recently, major (object) relational DBMS vendors support XML functionality, and several native XML DBMSs have been developed in academic or industry side. In addition, various benchmarks have been proposed so as to evaluate these na database performance. In this paper, we evaluate the XBench benchmark using a commercial object-relational DBMS, analyze its performance, and investigate the future improvements of object-relational DBMSs for XML support.
