You can use XQuery in Stylus Studio without need of any (XML) database.

You can think about XQuery as a query and transformation language; you can potentially use XQuery for what you are doing today with XSLT, even if XQuery is often seen more in conjunction with the concept of multiple, potentially heterogenous data sources.

The http://www.stylusstudio.com site is package with information about XQuery:
http://www.stylusstudio.com/whitepapers/xquery_white_papers.html
...or video tutorials at...
http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_videos.html

Hope this helps,
Minollo

Thanks, what about if i added a search facility on my application is it possible to use Xquery to bring back the results? If so would you be able to show me how you would do this just for a basic search?

If your goal is to query an XML document, then sure, you can do that with XQuery. As I mentioned, you will find plenty of examples and educational material on our web site and on http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/
