Note that reports involving joins are one of the examples in the XQuery 
document:

         www.w3.org/tr/xquery

You can download our prototype here:

         www.tamino.com/developer

If you have large data sets, you will probably want to load them into an 
indexed Tamino database and use the prototype together with that. You can 
also run the prototype off of text files.

Please compare the queries in the XQuery document to the equivalents in SQL 
before you conclude that ;->
