Chapter 12 Accessing Relational Data as XML


 

The features for working with relational data as XML described in this chapter are available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Edition and Stylus Studio XML Professional Edition.

This chapter describes the different ways you can access relational data and render that data as XML in Stylus Studio:

  • DB-to-XML data sources, which you can use to query and, optionally, to modify data in a relational database from within Stylus Studio
