Does DBMS_XMLSTORE supports mapping Attributes to columns ??
Currently we are using XMLTABLE to parse and insert XML data in to relational tables but it seems to be very slow . some experiments with DBMS_XMLSTORE seems to scale much better in this scenario but one challenge we are facing is to deal with XML attributes in the file . I do not know how to map these Attributes to relational table columns . We can apply sylesheets to convert attributes to elements but that defeats the purpose of scalability reasons.
The sample XML file ...
<ROWSET><ROW ID="122275174" ep="4035167364" secondMeasurementUnits="0" thirdMeasurementUnits="0" /><ROW ID="122275175" ep="4035167365" secondMeasurementUnits="0" thirdMeasurementUnits="0" /></ROWSET>
