Track: Product Presentations, Product Presentations
Audience Level: Technical view
Time: Tuesday, November 15 16:45
Keywords: Xquery, SQL, Relational, Datadirect
Abstract:
Internet developers typically spend much of their time creating and restructuring XML, using data from many sources, generally including relational data. This task is much too tedious in most environments. DataDirect XQuery simplifies this programming task significantly, solving the same problems with much less code. And DataDirect XQuery performs quite well, even when your query creates large XML results.
DataDirect XQuery is an implementation of XQuery and the Java API for XQuery (XQJ, under development as JSR 225). DataDirect XQuery supports all major relational databases,including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, IBM DB2, and Sybase,on any Java platform, allowing developers to query XML, relational databases, or a combination of the two. Using DataDirect XQuery means that your applications can run on any Java platform, accessing data from the major relational databases, using any Web server or application server, or using no server at all.
This talk presents DataDirect XQuery, and also discusses our plans for the coming year.
