Re: XQuery Support (Was Re: [regrep] Implementing CCTS in Registry-further thoughts)

[Max Voskob <mvoskob@msi.com.au>]

I think we don't need to poll vendors.
There are not so many anyway.

I think we can use availability of tools to work with xQuery and xPath 2.0

When one can query MS SQL or Oracle or use a specialised processor to query
an XML document using xQuery or xPath 2.0 then xQuery can become mandatory /
the only / preferred/ etc. querying mechanism.
It's just a suggestion - don't take it too seriously ;)

Cheers,
Max

Joe  / Max,

I definately give this idea "two thumbs up".  However, in order to
not crucify the poor vendors who have to implement this (and
currently have SQL only) - we may want to make this an
option / or phase it in as a requirement...

A straw poll from the vendors on how many can migrate to
offering XQuery support as well as SQL may help us with
that call.

Thanks, DW.
