In this paper, using the characteristics of XML document, the method that separately stores the structures and contents of XML documents, is proposed for the relational database(RDB), which is representative of the industrial world. The design of the storage architectures to efficiently store XML documents and easily reconstruct the original documents in RDB, is based on E-R modeling. In order to practically store XML documents in RDB, XML Parser and Inserter that handle XML documents according to the proposed storage architecture, were implemented. And when the structures and the contents of XML documents are separately queried, to turn out a complete result, Extractor and XML Composer were also implemented. Moreover, the convenient user interface was designed to easily store and query XML documents.
