XML Enabled Databases
XML enabled databases typically offer one or more of the following approaches to storing XML within the traditional relational structure:
- XML is stored into a CLOB (Character large object)
- XML is `shredded` into a series of Tables based on a Schema
- XML is stored into a native XML Type as defined by the ISO
RDBMS that support the ISO XML Type are:
- IBM DB2 (pureXML)
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle Database
- PostgreSQL
Typically an XML enabled database is best suited where the majority of data are non-XML, for datasets where the majority of data are XML a Native XML Database is better suited.

Famous quotes containing the word enabled:
“So I soon made up my mind about the poets too: I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled them to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
