I'm not a Sybase user, but I did read the papers and would have to agree. In particular, one of the papers said: "Most tools for working with XML documents are written in Java. The support for Java in SQL provided by the Adaptive Server Anywhere 6.0 and Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.0 database servers therefore provide a good base for supporting XML in SQL..." Not much of a story there. To be fair, there are hints of something more, although my marketing filter and the other paper make me read this as do-it-yourself: "Sybase provides an XML parser that converts XML data into a form that can be easily understood by the Adaptive Server Enterprise database. In addition, data stored in the database can be retrieved as XML data, allowing easy integration of existing information to Web applications." On a similar vein, do any relational database companies besides Oracle even have an XML story? I've seen some press releases about DB2, but these are so vague as to be meaningless. -- Ron Bourret xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
