That doesn't really answer my question. Maybe I phrased it wrong. Is
a W3C Schema required in order to use XQuery. I would imagine that
Oracle and other XML aware database will allow DTD's for validing and
importing and exporting XML data in and out.
I can include the W3C datatypes within a DTD, an XML parser just won't
validate that the datatypes are valid using an 'off the shelf' XML parser.
A lot of documents don't require datatyping (although they are nice to
have they aren't imperative).
Does XQuery require a W3C Schema? Does XQuery care? Can I use the
datatyping and validating capability within my database of choice
if it supports XQuery.
If I currently have a DTD and thousands possibly millions of XML documents
that conform to this DTD, why should I care about converting my DTD to W3C
Schema just to use XQuery?
Hope this clarifies the question.
