------------------------------------------------------------------------ XML Global Launches GoXML(tm) DB 2.0 - First Native XML Database Supporting XQuery ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vancouver, BC, November 27th, 2001 - XML Global Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: XMLG), an XML middleware company, today released GoXML(tm) DB 2.0, a Native XML Database Server. GoXML(tm) DB 2.0 is the first native XML database technology that provides significant support for the current working drafts of XQuery, an XML-based querying standard under development at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). GoXML(tm) DB 2.0 is focused on the rapidly expanding market for XML data storage and directly addresses this global e-business requirement. "XML databases are emerging as a key component that will enable Web Services and the dynamic use of content for pervasive e-Business," said Peter Shandro, CEO of XML Global. "GoXML(tm) DB processes data natively in XML and is therefore the optimal data store for enterprise business applications. GoXML(tm) DB also supports the XQuery working drafts," continued Shandro, "one the most advanced data querying languages currently being developed. This is a major step forward for XML databases and we are proud to be the first to incorporate this support." "HomeSource Capital, as one of the largest mortgage specialists in North America, is committed to expanding its leadership position," said Erskin Bell, CIO of HomeSource Capital. "To meet this objective, native XML database technology is a top priority. After examining the market, HomeSource Capital concluded that GoXML(tm) DB 2.0 offers the efficiencies, scalability and flexibility needed to maintain our growth without compromising the needs of our clients and lending partners." "We are pleased with this significant new release of GoXML(tm) DB 2.0 and its support for XQuery," said Jim Dorey, XML Global's product manager for GoXML(tm) DB. "When all the larger firms, including Microsoft, Sun and IBM are in a footrace to implant XQuery, it is a source of great professional pride to be the first company to offer this solution. XML Global is committed to XQuery and will support future versions as they become available." "After extensive lab testing, we were consistently impressed with how GoXML(tm) DB could construct and reconstruct XML documents on the fly through XQuery support," said Lawell Kiing, XML Global's Vice President of Software Development & Services. "This product fills a real market need where developers and business analysts can not only manipulate XML in the same way they can relational data, but more importantly, they can now perform additional critical tasks such as data transformations."
