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.

Text File to XML

Stylus Studio provides several easy-to-use document wizards that allow you to quickly convert text files to XML. Create XML from text and EDI, create XML Schema from EDIFACT, and more!

Validating EDIFACT Documents with XML Schemas

Either before or after transforming EDIFACT content, generated XML Schemas will make sure that we have all of the necessary components, our codes are all according to the standard codelists, and every little delimiter is in the right place.

EDI to XML

Using the DataDirect XML Converters EDI repository, the EDI to XML Conversion module is able to support dozens of EDI standard dialects and message types like EDIFACT, HL7, and X12.

XSL and XSLT Tools

XSLT tools in Stylus Studio let you easily edit, debug, design and profile XSLT stylesheets using a powerful and intuitive graphical user interface.
