    Deletegrams, in addition to the Insertgrams supported in
    XSQL 1.0.0.0

    the page request context.

What are XSQL Pages?

XSQL Pages are server-side XML templates that make it easy
to exploit the powerful combination of SQL, XML and XSLT to
prototype and deploy dynamic, data-powered sites and web
services. The user can extend the publishing framework
with user-defined "action handlers".
