Peter, You can also check out OpenLink's Virtuoso - a Universal Server that can create XML docs on the fly from SQL queries, support XQuery, and has a built-in XSLT processor. Virtuoso can work against data in your existing RDBMS's or store relational and/or XML data directly. http://www.openlinksw.com/virtuoso Best regards, Andrew Hill Director of Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software http://www.openlinksw.com Universal Data Access & Virtuoso Universal Server -----Original Message----- From: www-ql-request@w3.org [mailto:www-ql-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Peter Foley Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 6:11 PM To: www-ql@w3.org Subject: newbie Hello to everyone on the list. I am currently undertaking a project that is looking at replacing a SQL based interface to a complex database system (2-tier) with a web services (n-tier) system. We are exposing the database objects as XML documents but we do not want to populate the whole XML document in order to do queries. I am thus thinking about using XQUERY to formulate queries against the XML document and converting them via XSLT to SQL. I have tries a few queries and it looks feasible (comments welcome) but - 1) Is there a tool that converts from XQUERY to XQUERYX (for XSLT to convert)? 2) Is XQUERY going to be expanded for Insert, Delete, Update? 3) Does XQUERY handle grouping and sorting? Thanks for any help. ----------------------------------------------- ABS Web Site: www.abs.gov.au
