  Storing XML documents in a relational database is a promising solution
because relational databases are mature and scale very well and they have the
advantages that in a relational database XML data and structured data can
coexist making it possible to build application that involve both kinds of data
with little extra effort . In this paper, we propose an algorithm schema named
XRecursive that translates XML documents to relational database according to
the proposed storing structure. The steps and algorithm are given in details to
describe how to use the storing structure to storage and query XML documents in
relational database. Then we report our experimental results on a real database
to show the performance of our method in some features.
