XML Global Adds ODBC/JDBC Indexing to goXML(tm)Version 2.0

London, UK, XML One Conference, October 18th, 2000 - XML Global
Technologies, Inc. (www.xmlglobal.com), developers of the world's premier
XML based search and transformation e-business software products, goXML(tm)
and expressXCHG(tm), today announced it has completed a software add-on to
goXML(tm) version 2.0 that will allow arbitrary tables from any ODBC/JDBC
compliant database to be indexed by goXML(tm). goXML(tm) is the world's
premier context-based XML search system which utilizes patent-pending
interfaces to easily and securely accept and deliver XML based content
in-house and via the Internet.

The new software add-on will allow goXML(tm) to act as a broker to various
relational database management systems and legacy data sources. Included
with this add-on is a web conduit which permits the RDBMS/legacy data that
has been indexed into a goXML(tm) index to later be accessed from source,
thus ensuring only the most up-to-date information is delivered to clients.

"This tool allows simple integration of scattered and/or diverse data
sources into a single point of query," explained Matthew MacKenzie, XML
Global's Vice-President, Research & Development. "It is a useful feature for
corporate IT staff, and integrators who need to aggregate various
information systems into a central place to allow user friendly,
single-syntax searches of data.  It allows data to remain in the database or
legacy system where it belongs, thus not affecting data integrity."

"In the e-business market, database management is rapidly becoming a central
concern", continued MacKenzie, "with the ability to bridge new and current
systems with a wide variety of older and inflexible legacy systems being a
central issue. XML and XML-based business process tools allow for this
functionality and XML Global's product suite offers a complete range of
end-to-end solutions. This specific software add on reflects our ongoing
commitment to R&D and to focus XML Global's efforts on relevant e-business
process tools."

Examples of databases supported by goXML(tm) and the software add on are
Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft FoxPro,
dBase, xBase, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix, Pervasive
SQL, Adabas and CSV.
