Early Adopter XQuery
by Dan Maharry, Rogerio Saran, Kurt Cagle, Mark Fussell, Nalleli Lopez
XQuery plays a significant role in IBM's vision for DB2 in coming years. This
book, written for database and XML developers with a knowledge of SQL or XSLT,
gives readers a chance to get familiar with and keep track of what will be an
industry standard once complete (WC3 Recommendation status is expected in
2003). XQuery is to XML data as SQL is to data in relational databases and
more — a single syntax that lets you specify queries on structured XML data,
independent of how it's stored, and return the results as XML in a structure of
your choosing. Early Adopter XQuery presents the this technology's history,
development, and expected pre-ratification changes. It includes easy-to-follow
introductions to the XQuery language for those familiar with SQL and XSLT and a
look at the early implementations of XQuery that exist around the Internet.
