Working with the XQuery collection() Function


		Support for the XQuery collection() function is available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite.

As implemented in Stylus Studio, the XQuery collection() function allows you to include relational database tables and views in your XQuery as if they were XML documents. (The collection() function is implementation-specific - different vendors have implemented it in different ways. In some implementations, for example, the collection() function takes as its argument a URL that specifies an XML document.)

This section describes how to work with the collection() function in Stylus Studio.
