The described subject matter relates to computing, and more particularly to managing XML documents containing hierarchical database information.
Extensible markup language (XML) is increasingly becoming the preferred format for transferring data. XML is a tag-based hierarchical language that provides the ability to represent data in diverse formats and contexts. For example, XML can be used to represent data spanning the spectrum from semi-structured data (such as one would find in a word-processing document) to generally structured data. XML is well-suited for many types of communication including business-to-business and client-to-server communication.
Data represented in XML is often created and retained in electronic documents, such as electronic forms. The structure of an electronic form that is written in XML typically is governed by an XML schema (XSD) and this structure can be altered by applying an eXtensible Style-sheet Language Transformation (XSLT) file on the form. For more information on XML, XSLT, and XSD (schemas), the reader is referred to the following documents which are the work of, and available from the W3C (World Wide Web consortium): XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes; XML Schema Part 1: Structures; and XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0; and XML 1.0 Second Edition Specification.
Databases are computerized information storage and retrieval systems. A Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) which uses relational techniques for storing and retrieving data. RDBMS software using a Structured Query Language (SQL) interface is well known in the art. The SQL interface has evolved into a standard language for RDBMS software and has been adopted as such by both the American National Standards Organization (ANSI) and the International Standards Organization (ISO). The information stored in a RDBMS is typically hierarchical in nature. Parent-child relationships are defined through integrity constraints across multiple relational tables. But it frequently makes sense to present this information to humans (or other applications) as hierarchical information, which can be done using XML.
When hierarchical database information is persisted as a structured XML document, a unique set of challenges are created in translating the changes to the XML document back into the database. For example, while XML data is by nature hierarchical, typically the only relationship between a parent and a child is the fact that the child is contained within the parent. By contrast, in a database both parent and child will contain common data kept in sync through referential integrity.
When XML is used as a temporary persistence format for data retrieved from a hierarchical database to be consumed by a wide variety of applications (e.g., web services, internet application, thin client applications), it is important that the retrieved information can be returned to its original storage format (e.g., a database) properly reflecting the changes made by the application(s) that manipulated the data.
Described herein are systems and methods for managing XML documents containing hierarchical database information. The systems and methods permit hierarchical database information to be downloaded into an XML document for presentation to a user, or to an application, for editing. Changes to the data made during the editing process are tracked, and the data may be uploaded back to the database.
The subject matter described herein facilitates management of data that is stored in a hierarchical format such as, e.g., a relational database, when the data is retrieved and manipulated using a schema-driven format such as, e.g., XML. In one implementation this is accomplished by generating a non-editable copy of the XML data retrieved from the database and annotating each logical unit in the original XML data or the copy of the XML data in a manner that uniquely identifies each logical unit and relates it to its corresponding item in the generated copy. For example, each XML node may be assigned a unique numerical or string identifier or a value representing the items original ordinal position. As the data is manipulated, algorithms may be implemented to use the annotations to track changes to the XML data and to ensure that the manipulated XML data complies with one or more required data formats. When the XML data is ready to be transferred back to the database(s) from which it was obtained, a series of operations are implemented to validate the data and to determine the nature of operation to be performed to restore the data to the database(s).
This document provides a description of representing XML data retrieved from a hierarchical data source such as, e.g., a database. This document further provides a description of a computer-based system for managing XML documents containing hierarchical database information, exemplary methods performed by such a system, and an exemplary computer on which the system may be implemented. The methods described herein may be embodied as logic instructions on a computer-readable medium implemented in any suitable software or firmware, or may be reduced to hardware. When executed on a processor, the logic instructions cause a general purpose computing device to be programmed as a special-purpose machine that implements the described methods. The processor, when configured by the logic instructions to execute the methods recited herein, constitutes structure for performing the described methods.
Representation of Hierarchical Data Using XML
Relational data from may be extracted or viewed by way of a hierarchical self-describing format such as extensible markup language (XML). For example, SQL Server 2000 developed by MICROSOFT CORPORATION provides extensive database programming capabilities built on Web standards. XML and Internet standard support in that product provides the ability to store and retrieve data in XML format easily with built-in stored procedures. The data extracted from a relational database is converted to an XML document as defined by way of an XML schema.
An XML Schema is an XML vocabulary for describing XML instance documents. The term “instance” is used because a schema describes a class of documents, of which there can be many different instances.
The elements used in a schema definition come from the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema namespace. Schema definitions must have a root xsd:schema element. There are a variety of elements that may be nested within xsd:schema including, but not limited to, xsd:element, xsd:attribute, and xsd:complexType, all of which are well known in the art. A schema definition can be processed with standard XML tools and services such as DOM, SAX, XPath, and XSLT.
Definitions placed within the xsd:schema element are automatically associated with the namespace specified in the targetNamespace attribute. The namespace identifier is the key that links XML documents to the corresponding Schema definition. To take advantage of the schema while processing an element, the processor needs to locate the correct schema definition. How schema processors locate the schema definition for a particular namespace is not defined by a standard specification. Most processors, however, allow an in-memory cache loading of schemas that it will use while processing documents.
XML Schema also provides the schemaLocation attribute to provide a hint in the instance document as to the whereabouts of the required schema definitions. The schemaLocation attribute is in the http:H/www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace, which was set aside specifically for attributes that are only used in instance documents.
The orders nodes 160 a, 160 b may have child nodes that correspond to columns in the order table 130. In the embodiment depicted in
An Exemplary System Architecture
The user-input devices 206 can include any device allowing a computer to receive a developer's input, such as a keyboard 210, other device(s) 212, and a mouse 214. The other device(s) 212 can include a touch screen, a voice-activated input device, a track ball, and any other device that allows the system 200 to receive input from a developer. The computer 208 includes a processing unit 216 and random access memory and/or read-only memory 218. Memory 218 includes an operating system 220 for managing operations of computer 208 and one or more application programs, such as database module 220 that interfaces with a database 240 or other source of hierarchical data., an XML processing module 226, an XML editing module 228, an XML conversion module 230, and an XML re-annotation module 232. Memory 218 may further include an XML data store 242. XML data may be persisted (typically temporarily) in XML data store 242. The computer 208 communicates with a user and/or a developer through the screen 204 and the user-input devices 206.
The system 200 enables a user to retrieve hierarchical data from the database 240, display the data on display 202 using XML formatting techniques, manipulate the retrieved data in its XML format, and to return the manipulated XML data back to database 240. System 200 also monitors changes to the data to provide a measure of data integrity. The operation of various modules 224-232 is explained in detail below.
At operation 420 the original XML data is annotated in a manner that uniquely identifies each node in the XML data. Optionally, the before copy of the XML data may also be annotated. In an exemplary implementation each node in the XML data is annotated with a name and an identifier that identifies the position of the corresponding node in the before copy of the data. The annotated identifiers may be implemented as a numeric sequence, e.g., a sequential numeric listing, or a predetermined character sequence.
The identifier may be added to the XML data using a node attribute on each node to which an identifier is assigned. To avoid conflicts between the annotated identifier and other XML data the identifier attribute is assigned a namespace that is unique to the update algorithm. In addition, to avoid conflicts between identifiers in multiple XML documents the identifier attribute name is unique across multiple XML documents. In an exemplary implementation the attribute name may be randomly generated each time the XML data is prepared and annotated.
After the XML data is prepared and annotated it may be displayed as an XML document (e.g., on display 202) and modified, either automatically or by a user of system. During modification of the XML document data may be inserted into the XML document in several different ways. By way of example, data may be entered manually, moved (i.e., cut and pasted) from another part of the XML document, or another XML document, or copied and pasted from another part of the XML document, or another XML document.
By contrast, if at operation 515 there is an annotated identifier in the new node, then control passes to operation 520, and the XML document is searched for the annotated identifier. The search is performed based on the update algorithm namespace, the unique attribute name and the annotated identifier. If at operation 525 the annotated identifier exists in the XML document, then the new node is likely a copy of an existing node in the XML document. Accordingly, the annotated identifier is removed from the new node at operation 530.
By contrast, if the annotated identifier does not exist elsewhere in the XML document, then the new node likely represents a move operation of the data from elsewhere in the XML document. Accordingly, control can be returned to the calling routine at operation 535.
In an exemplary implementation, constraints are checked in a delayed manner before submit on rows with empty values for the Primary Key or the Foreign Key fields. This allows the user the ability to insert new rows with empty values and fill in those values at a later point in time.
Other features may be implemented to help a user enter correct data into an XML document. When the XML is represented hierarchically, with tables in a relation being nested, inserting a row into the child table will automatically populate foreign key values from the primary key of the parent row. For the case where the tables are not nested, if the insert happens from a view that knows the context of the parent row (e.g., the Master-Detail view) the Foreign-Key values may be populated automatically to match the Primary Key values of the current parent row.
Once a series of edits to the XML has been completed and the information is ready to be posted back to the database, the operations of
At operation 735 the before copy of the data is searched for an annotated identifier matching the selected annotated identifier. If, at operation 740, a matching annotated identifier is found in the before copy of the data, then update procedures are invoked to update the corresponding data in the database.
In an exemplary implementation, the update procedures may be implemented as follows. First, if there is no database column associated with the selected data item, it is skipped. Second, if the associated database column represents an identity or a datestamp or timestamp, it is skipped. Third, if the associated database column is part of the relationship between this node and its parent (i.e., a foreign key), then the corresponding value from the parent node is used. Fourth, if the value is empty and the database field is optional, it is updated with a null value. By contrast, if the database field is required, it is updated with an empty string. Fifth, the new value from the selected data item is used to update the row's corresponding column.
By contrast, if at operation 740 there are no matching annotated identifiers, then insert procedures are invoked to write the edited data back to the database(s). In an exemplary implementation, the insert procedures may be implemented as follows. First, if there is no database column associated with the data item, the entry is skipped. Second, if the associated database column is an identity or datestamp or timestamp, then it is skipped. Third, if the associated database column is part of the relationship between this node and its parent (i.e., a foreign key), then the corresponding value from the parent node is used. Fourth, if the value is empty and the database field is optional, then it is skipped. By contrast, if the database field is required, then it is inserted with an empty string. Fifth, the new value from the data item is used to populate the row's corresponding column.
The operations 735-750 may be repeated for each entry in the edited copy of the data to write the entries back to the database(s) from which the data was retrieved. At operation 755 delete procedures are invoked for any entries in the before copy of the data that were not processed as either an update or an insert. The delete procedures may be implemented by deleting the row(s) corresponding to the entry (or entries) in the before copy of the data.
If the XML document is going to continue to be used for editing, then the XML document is updated to reflect the changes that have been made. In an exemplary implementation the following operations may be performed, e.g., by the XML re-annotation module 232, to update the XML document. For each inserted row that contains an identity column (i.e., auto-numbered) the generated identity value may be propagated back into the corresponding node and data item in the XML Document. For each inserted or updated row that contains a date/timestamp column, the new generated value may be propagated back into the corresponding node and data item in the XML document. For any row that had data items updated based upon the relationship with its parent, these new values may be propagated back into the corresponding data items in the XML document. The XML Document may be re-annotated with unique identifiers. And fifth, a new copy of the. XML document is taken to become the new before data.
If the relationship between the querying and submit is not straight forward (such as when tracking changes to database data that is received via web services), the data may be marked as read only to prevent further modifications by the user. After the user refreshes the data explicitly, the lock on editing may be removed. This locking procedure ensures that the user does not work with potentially stale data.

The various components and functionality described herein are implemented with a number of individual computers.
Generally, various different general purpose or special purpose computing system configurations can be used. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, network-ready devices, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The functionality of the computers is embodied in many cases by computer-executable instructions, such as software components, that are executed by the computers. Generally, software components include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Tasks might also be performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, software components may be located in both local and remote computer storage media.
The instructions and/or software components are stored at different times in the various computer-readable media that are either part of the computer or that can be read by the computer. Programs are typically distributed, for example, on floppy disks, CD-ROMs, DVD, or some form of communication media such as a modulated signal. From there, they are installed or loaded into the secondary memory of a computer. At execution, they are loaded at least partially into the computer's primary electronic memory.
For purposes of illustration, programs and other executable program components such as the operating system are illustrated herein as discrete blocks, although it is recognized that such programs and components reside at various times in different storage components of the computer, and are executed by the data processor(s) of the computer.
