XML emerges and evolves quick and fast as Web and wireless technology penetrates more into the consumer marketplace. Database technology faces new challenges. It has to change to play the supportive role. Web and wireless applications master the technology paradigm shift. XML and database connectivity and transformation become critical. Heterogeneity and interoperability must be distinctly tackled. In this paper, we provide an in-depth and technical review of XML and XML database technology. An analytic and comparative framework is developed. Storage method, mapping technique, and transformation paradigm formulate the framework. We collect and compile the IBM, Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft XML database products. We use the framework and analyze each of these XML database techniques. The comparison and contrast aims to provide an insight into the structural and methodological paradigm shift in XML database technology.
