Although it is possible to store XML in the form of text files, or to extract the data from structured XML and store it relationally, neither solution exploits the potential of XML fully, in particular its ability to hold semi-structured information. This has created a market need for XML databases. The fact that XML is radically different from other data models means that there are particular advantages in using a native XML database, designed from the ground up to support XML data and XML queries, rather than adapting a database that was originally designed for a quite different purpose.
