    - XML Transformation with XSLT
      This type of transformation specifies the transformation parameters and location of an XSLT stylesheet that is applied to the edited XML document. This scenario is useful when you develop an XML document and the XSLT document is in its final form.
    - XML Transformation with XQuery
      This type of transformation specifies the transform parameters and location of an XQuery file that is applied to the edited XML document.
    - XML to PDF Transformation with CSS
      This type of transformation uses the Oxygen PDF Chemistry processing engine to obtain PDF output by applying CSS styling to the edited XML document. This scenario is useful for those who are familiar with CSS and want to obtain PDF output as its final form.
    - DITA-OT Transformation
      This type of transformation specifies the parameters for an Ant transformation that executes a DITA-OT build script. Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin includes a built-in version of Ant and a built-in version of DITA-OT, but other versions can be set in the scenario.
    - Ant Transformation

SQL Transformation

This type of transformation specifies a database connection for the database server that runs the SQL file associated with the scenario. The data processed by the SQL script is located in the database.

To create an SQL transformation scenario, use one of the following methods:

Use the Configure Transformation Scenario(s) (Alt + Shift + T, C (Command + Option + T, C on macOS)) action from the toolbar or the XML menu. Then click the New button and select SQL transformation.
Go to Window > Show View and select Transformation Scenarios to display this view. Click the New Scenario drop-down menu button and select SQL transformation.

Both methods open the New Scenario dialog box. This dialog box allows you to configure the following options that control the transformation:

Name: The unique name of the SQL transformation scenario.
SQL URL: Allows you to specify the URL of the SQL script. You can specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing actions in the Browse drop-down list.
Connection: Allows you to select a connection from a drop-down list. To configure a connection, use the Advanced options button to open the Data Source preferences page.
Parameters: Allows you to add or configure parameters for the transformation.
