Document Access Definitions (DADs)

You specify how structured XML documents are to be handled in a document access definition (DAD). The DAD itself is an XML formatted document. It associates XML document structure to a DB2 database when using either XML columns or XML collections. The structure of the DAD is different when defining an XML column, as opposed to an XML collection.

DAD files are managed using the XML_USAGE table, created when you enable a database for XML.
