For the integration of data there are many techniques of using SQLXML and .net the sql client data provider supports execute xml reader it can consume directly the result of it to do the xml query the user can use xml directly, the role of XML query in reinventing the wheel is very large the overlap between the xquery and xslt is too great for W3C to recommend both as separate languages if the XSLT is not considered enough as an XML query language then its development should be built from the same and semantic syntactic base as XSLTThe most
Debates on the XML-DEV and XSL mailing lists over the last two weeks concern the futures of XSLT, XPath, and, the latest addition to the W3C XML toolkit, XML Query. There are no signs of these debates ending this week. Discussion on XML-DEV about the design of XML Query rages on.
Reinventing the Wheel
The focus of last week's XML-Deviant was the concern expressed by several XML-DEV contributors that the interdependence of several W3C specifications may have exceeded the dictates of software reuse and become instead a tangled mess. Suggestions were
On Jan. 23, 2007 the W3C granted Recommendation status to XQuery, the XML query language designed to do for Web services what SQL did for relational databases. XQuery allows you to work in one common model no matter what type of data you're working with -- relational, XML or object data. It's used for queries that must represent results as XML, to query XML stored inside or outside the database, or to span relational and XML sources.
SQL/XML is another standard that uses declarative, portable queries to return XML by querying relational data. It's an
Abstract :
XML is an extremely versatile markup language, capable of labeling the information content of diverse data sources including structured and semi-structured documents, relational databases, and object repositories. A query language of similar versatility is needed to realize the potential of XML as a universal medium for data interchange. Most existing proposals for XML query languages are robust for particular types of data sources but weak for other types. In this paper, the authors combine features from several sources to propose a new
[July 12, 2004] W3C Releases Public Working Draft for Full-Text Searching of XML Text and Documents. W3C has published an initial Public Working Draft for XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Full-Text. Created as a joint specification by the W3C XML Query Working Group and the XSL Working Group as part of the XML Activity, this new draft specification defines a language that extends XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 with full-text search capabilities. As defined by the draft, "full-text queries are performed on text which has been tokenized, i.e., broken into a
