Release 2.1.0 Beta of the Oracle XML SQL Utility is
now available on Oracle Technet web site.

  http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml

Key new features include: 

(*) SAX2 output from any SQL query for handling XML 
    query output of arbitrary size in custom programs
    or SAX filters.

(*) Full support for any JDBC driver,  removing 
    previous restrictions on the XML->to->DB
    insert/update/delete functionality which 
    formerly only worked with the Oracle JDBC driver.
    The SQL->to->XML direction continues to support
    all drivers as it did before.

(*) Initial XML Schema support, allowing you to 
    produce inline XML Schema for the XML result 
    of any SQL query

(*) New support for retrieving data as XML attributes
    instead of elements by using standard SQL column
    aliasing. 

       e.g. SELECT FOO as "@foo", BAR as "bar" FROM BAZ
       produces:

           <rowset>
              <row foo="foovalue">
                <bar>barvalue</bar>
              </row>
           </rowset>

Enjoy.
