• Process XML using XQuery by Nicholas Chase   - [Clicks: 22]
  For years developers have used SQL to retrieve data from structured sources such as relational databases. But what about unstructured and semi-structured sources, such as XML data? To be viable as a data source, XML needed a means to conveniently retrieve the data. XQuery provides this means, allowing developers to write a statement that both extracts data and (if necessary) structures the results as XML. This tutorial shows you how to use XQuery to retrieve information from an XML document stored in an XQuery-enabled database. It also explains the ways in which XPath changes with version 2.0, and what those changes mean for data management.
