Chapter 15. Working with Databases  /  Native XML Database (NXD) Support

Native XML Database (NXD) Support

Native XML databases have an XML-based internal model and their fundamental unit of storage is XML. <oXygen/> offers support for: Berkeley DB XML, eXist, MarkLogic, Software AG Tamino, Raining Data TigerLogic, Documentum xDb (X-Hive/DB) and Oracle XML DB.

Configuring Database Data Sources

This section presents a set of procedures describing how to configure NXD data sources.

How to configure a Berkeley DB XML datasource

The latest instructions on how to configure Berkeley DB XML support in <oXygen/> can be found on our website .

<oXygen/> supports Berkeley DB XML versions 2.3.10, 2.4.13 & 2.4.16. The following directory definitions shall apply:

  • OXY_DIR - <oXygen/> installation root directory. (for example on Windows C:\Program Files\Oxygen 10.3)

  • DBXML_DIR - Berkeley DB XML database root directory. (for example on Windows C:\Program Files\Sleepycat Software\Berkeley DB XML <version>)

  • DBXML_LIBRARY_DIR (usually on Mac and Unix is DBXML_DIR/lib and on Windows is DBXML_DIR/bin)

  1. Go to Preferences -> Data Sources. In the Data Sources panel click the New button.

  2. Enter a unique name for this data source and select Berkeley DBXML from the driver type combo box.

  3. Press the Add button to add the following Berkeley DB specific files:

    • db.jar (check for it into DBXML_DIR/lib or DBXML_DIR/jar)

    • dbxml.jar (check for it into DBXML_DIR/lib or DBXML_DIR/jar)

  4. Click OK to finish the data source configuration.
