Editing XQuery Documents
XQuery is the query language for XML and is officially defined by a W3C Recommendation document. Oxygen XML Developer provides support for XQuery 3.1, which is also backwards compatible with XQuery 3.0 and 1.0.
The many benefits of XQuery include:
- XQuery allows you to work in one common model no matter what type of data you are working with: relational, XML, or object data.
- XQuery is ideal for queries that must represent results as XML, to query XML stored inside or outside the database, and to span relational and XML sources.
- XQuery allows you to create many different types of XML representations of the same data.
- XQuery allows you to query both relational sources and XML sources, and create one XML result.
