Importance of XML in the field of representation and exchange of data on the Internet has absorbed a vast amount of interest to study the different aspects of XML data manipulation. The volume of XML data exchange is explosively increasing and the need for afficient mechanisme of XML data management is vital. many XML storege models have been proposed for storing XML documents in relational database systems, independent of their document type definitions (DTD). benchmarking is the best way to highlight the weaknesses and stregths of different approaches. In this study, we use a common benchmarking scheme, known as XMark to compare the most cited DTD- independent methods in terms of logical reads, physical I/O, CPU time and duration.
