Finding Needles in an OmniFind XML Haystacks
January 13, 2011
Yes, you can use IBM DB2 for XML searches. “CI Can . . . Search XML in OmniFind V1R2” gives examples from the the XML search in IBM DB2 OmniFind V1R2. To sum up: “XML search allows a search to be scoped to a specific element or attribute, rather than the entire document. In addition, the search syntax allows comparing an element or attribute value to a numeric, ISO date or ISO dateTime value during the search.” It also supports XML namespaces on element and tag names. No need to break out the metal detector, the needles will pop right out of those haystacks.
