Abstract
Recent block-based native XML storage systems such as IDEFIX touch blocks according to the XQuery engine’s execution plan. The resulting access patterns are virtually unknown and potentially cause many expensive disk seeks. Visualization comes to the rescue when extensive log files must be analyzed – a tedious and difficult task. The dynamic time-based block-touch animation as well as the static block-type information of VISUAL IDEFIX foster the insight into the performance-critical internals of the XML storage and help to optimize both the block layout and the XQuery engine to speed up queries.
