• XQuery Flowers by Jonathan Gennick   - [Clicks: 15]
  Query is an XML query language developed and standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). XQuery's purpose is to find, retrieve, and rearrange data viewed through the lens of XML. XQuery is the syntax, and XML expressions are what you write using that syntax. Oracle's implementation of XQuery makes its debut in Oracle Database 10g Release 2, enabling you to draw data from both XML documents and relational tables, and to then use that data in generating new XML documents and relational rowsets.

• Java theory and practice: Make database queries without the database by Brian Goetz   - [Clicks: 23]
  When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail (as the old saying goes). But what if you don't have a hammer? Well, sometimes, you can borrow a hammer. Then, hammer in hand, you can bang the virtual nails with the borrowed hammer, return it, and no one is the wiser. In this month's Java theory and practice, Brian Goetz demonstrates how data manipulation hammers such as SQL or XQuery can be applied to ad-hoc data.

• Debunking XQuery myths and misunderstandings by Frank Cohen   - [Clicks: 20]
  XQuery shows much promise for software architects and developers because it greatly reduces the amount of code you need to write to build services that work with XML. You might think XQuery does everything and is well understood, but misconceptions and misunderstandings still exist in the software development community about XQuery. In this article, Frank Cohen details and clarifies many of the myths and misunderstandings that surround XQuery.

• SOA and XQuery by Jonathan Bruce   - [Clicks: 25]
  The rise in prominence of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) has triggered a storm of debates on how best to build enterprise SOA-based applications and establish a predominant industry position.

• Getting Started with XQuery, Part Two by Bob DuCharme   - [Clicks: 30]
  In part one of this article, we saw how the free version of the Saxon program lets you jump right in with XQuery, the increasingly popular (although not quite finished) W3C standard for querying XML data sources. We learned how to pass Saxon XQuery queries to execute on the command line or from a disk file, and we looked at queries that went through a collection of RecipeML documents to find which recipes used a certain ingredient, which served more than twenty people, and which served the most people. This week, we'll learn more about how a query can manipulate the XML that it pulls out of a collection, and how user-defined functions can provide even greater flexibility in the sorting and arrangement of that data.

• Java theory and practice: Screen-scraping with XQuery by Brian Goetz   - [Clicks: 29]
  XQuery is a W3C standard for extracting information from XML documents, currently spanning 14 working drafts. While the majority of interest in XQuery is centered around querying large bases of semi-structured document data, XQuery can be surprisingly effective for some much more mundane uses as well. In this month's Java theory and practice, columnist Brian Goetz shows you how XQuery can be used effectively as an HTML screen-scraping engine.

• Comparing XSLT and XQuery by J. David Eisenberg   - [Clicks: 17]
  J. David Eisenberg asks, and answers, a vital question: if I already know XSLT, should I also learn XQuery? Get up to speed on the W3C's XML native programming language.

• Getting Started with XQuery by Bob DuCharme   - [Clicks: 21]
  Although the W3C's XQuery language for querying XML data sources is still in Working Draft status, the recent XML 2004 conference showed that there's already plenty of interest and many implementations. While the Saxon implementation may not scale up as much as the disk-based versions that use persistent indexes and other traditional database features, you can download the free version of Saxon, install it, and use XQuery so quickly that it's a great way to start playing with the language in order to learn about what this new standard can offer you.

• Combining XQuery and Web Services by Jeff Dexter   - [Clicks: 9]
  The XML world is driving new emerging technologies that can be utilized to provide solutions to a variety of problems. This article focuses on two of these technologies: Web services and XQuery. As separate entities, these technologies provide a powerful set of features; but when combined they have the potential to present ever more sophisticated feature sets designed for very specific goals.
