Compared to DB-to-XML Data Sources

Using the URL Builder is similar to using DB-to-XML data sources, though the URL Builder does have a few characteristics that distinguish it from DB-to-XML data sources.

  • The URL Builder does not expose SQL/XML. You cannot write SQL/XML queries using the URL Builder.
  • The URL Builder allows you to select only a single table or view from the relational database server. You cannot select mutiple tables, views, or individual rows using the URL Builder.
  • The URL Builder does not allow you to save XML documents back to the relational database server.
