DataDirect XQuery 2.0 – Taking XQuery Beyond XML and Relational
Release 2.0 of DataDirect XQuery
(http://www.datadirect.com/xquery) is available
now for download
(http://www.datadirect.com/downloads/registration/xquery/index.ssp).
Why should you try 2.0? DataDirect XQuery 2.0 will be great for you if you:
* Need to query relational and XML data in a
single XQuery using standard APIs and not being
tied to proprietary dialect or interfaces
* Have an application with memory or scalability
issues using large XML documents
* Have data sources that are something other than
XML or relational and want to use XQuery with them too (CSV, EDIFACT, X12, ...)
* Want to increase your application’s performance
and tune specifically for your environment
Summary of What’s New in Release 2.0:
- Performance and Scalability Enhancements –
Performance enhancements have been made to
further optimize queries. Some performance
optimizations are now configurable by the user –
allowing more control to choose optimizations for
their specific environments. XML projection and
streaming may dramatically reduce the amount of
memory required when processing large XML documents
- Integration with Stylus Studio XML Deployment
Adapters – These adapters give you the ability to
use DataDirect XQuery to query and integrate data
sources that are not XML or relational (for
example, comma-separated or EDI files; see
http://www.stylusstudio.com/deployment/datadirectxquery for more details)
- Additional support for Java extensions - The
ability to use external Java functions has been
enhanced and improved (support for instance methods)
- Additional Database Support – Support added for
Oracle 10gR2, Sybase 15, and MS SQL Server 2005.

for your specific database or version at

- Updated XQuery Support – Supports the November,
2005 Candidate Recommendation XQuery
specification and adds support for XQuery modules.
- Industry standard XQuery Test Suite – Tested
against the W3C XQTS (results will be published soon)
