XQuery USE ME (XqUSEme) (xpi): XqUSEme is written to allow XQueries in Firefox via the open-source Saxon-B XQuery engine, or, with an extra download, via the Berkeley DB XML native XML database. The latter can also allow storage of XML documents but it is about 52 MB to download, and about 400+ MB after installation....; Tags: XQuery, Brett Zamir, XqUSEme, XML, Software/Web Development, Web Development; Software downloads 2008-01-22
Update XML in DB2 9.5: One of the most significant new features in IBM DB2 9.5 for Linux, Unix and Windows is the XML update functionality. The previous version, DB2 9, introduced pureXML support for storing and indexing of XML data and querying it with the SQL/XML and XQuery languages. Modifications to an XML document...; Tags: XQuery, IBM DB2, XML, Databases, Enterprise Software, Software/Web Development, Web Development, Software, Data Management; White papers 2007-10-11
pureXML in DB2 9: Which Way to Query Your XML Data?: DB2 9 introduces pureXML support, which means that XML data is stored and queried in its inherent hierarchical format. To query XML data, DB2 offers two languages, SQL/XML and XQuery. One can use XQuery and SQL separately, but one can also use XQuery embedded in SQL and vice versa. This...; Tags: pureXML, XQuery, SQL, XML-Data, IBM DB2, DB2 9, XML, Databases, Enterprise Software, Software/Web Development, Web Development, Software, Data Management; White papers 2007-08-28
Introducing XQJ: A Java API for XQuery: Query is a declarative language for querying XML that's similar to SQL for querying relational data. Most Java developers are familiar with JDBC, which provides a standard Java API to interact with a variety of SQL engines operating against relational data sources. XQJ has the same goal: It provides Java...; Tags: XQuery, XQJ, JSR 225 Specification, Programming Languages, XML, Java, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Web Development; White papers 2007-05-22
XQuery: Navigating Input Documents Using Paths: Path expressions are used to navigate input documents to select elements and attributes of interest. This paper explains how to use path expressions to select elements and attributes from an input document and apply predicates to filter those results. It also covers the different methods of accessing input documents. A...; Tags: XQuery, O'Reilly Media Inc., Path Expression, XML, Software/Web Development, Web Development; Book chapters 2007-04-01

Unleashing the Power of the Query - Querying Relational and XML Data Using SQL/XML and XQuery: Users of DB2 UDB Version 8.x XML functionality might be familiar with some SQL/XML publishing functions, but XQuery is a new language that has been added to DB2. One needs to understand it a little better and see how it works with SQL/XML to query and publish XML data in...; Tags: XQuery, SQL, XML-Data, IBM DB2, XML, Databases, Software/Web Development, Web Development, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2006-08-28
Investigate navigation in XQuery: Designed to be a language in which queries are concise and easily understood, XQuery is also flexible enough to query a broad spectrum of XML information sources, including both databases and documents. This sample chapter from XQuery: The XML Query Language investigates one of the primary features of XQuery, navigation....; Tags: Coverage, XQuery, XML, Software/Web Development, Web Development; Book chapters 2006-06-12
Integration of SQL and XQuery in IBM DB2: Relational database systems have dominated the database industry for a quarter century. However, the advent of the Web has led to requirements for storage of new kinds of information in which the order of information is important and data structure can vary over time and from one document to another....; Tags: XQuery, SQL, XML-Data, IBM DB2, IBM Corp., Integration, XML, Databases, Software/Web Development, Web Development, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2006-05-10
Query DB2 XML Data With XQuery: XQuery differs from SQL in a number of key respects, largely because the languages were designed to work with different data models that have different characteristics. XML documents contain hierarchies and possess an inherent order. Tabular data structures supported by SQL-based DBMSs are flat and set based; as such, rows...; Tags: XQuery, SQL, XML-Data, IBM DB2, XML, Programming Languages, Databases, Software/Web Development, Web Development, Software Development, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2006-04-06
Querying, Constructing, and Transforming XML With Oracle XQuery: With the release of Oracle Database 10g Release 2, Oracle introduced a full-featured, native XQuery engine integrated with the database that can be used to accomplish various tasks involved in developing an XML-enabled application.

XSLT Cookbook: Querying XML: This paper covers recipes for using XSLT as an XML query language. Querying XML means extracting information from one or more XML documents to answer questions about facts and relationships occurring in and among these documents. By analogy, querying an XML document involves asking the same types of questions of...; Tags: XSLT, XQuery, XML, Software/Web Development, Web Development; Book chapters 2005-11-21
XQuery Flowers: 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 a person writes using that syntax. Oracle's implementation of XQuery...; Tags: Oracle Corp., XQuery, XML, Software/Web Development, Web Development; White papers 2005-09-01
