XML Services in Adaptive Server Enterprise
|
XML capabilities
XML Services provides the following capabilities:
A native XML processor to run in Adaptive Server.
This processor implements the XPath language, a significant subset
of the XQuery language. This processor is upwardly compatible with
the XQL language implemented by the Java-based SQL processor provided
by Adaptive Server 12.5, so it provides a migration path for current applications.
A for
xml extension of select statements,
and a Java-based forxmlj function, to map SQL
result sets to the standard SQLX-XML representation. Java-based forsqlj functions
are present to map a SQLX-XML document back to a SQL script that
recreates the data.
The 12.5.1 XML Services feature builds on experience with
the Adaptive Server 12.5 XML support, and provides a basis for further
enhancement.
