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 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
  • The URL Builder, which lets you create an XML document based on a table or view you select from a relational database
For more information
