Below are some sample questions.

please help in finding teh answers

with reasons (if known).

1)An XML-aware database is used to store customer information as

XML. An application needs to access these documents and create a
list of all the cities in which the customers are based. Which of
the following represents the best way to achieve this task?

A.

information.

2)The following XML instance document for a warehouse inventory is

processed using DOM to replace the price references with the
current prices from the database to create a new catalog mailing
document:

<!DOCTYPE doc SYSTEM "http://www.example.org/dtds/doc.dtd">

<item>
<name>Wood Guitar</name>
<price dbref="g3905778/price"/>
</item>
<item>

Use SAX instead of DOM to replace the prices as the items are
parsed.
