updategrams
Dear James

The given URL provides info and documentation should be included. Please
note that the current version requires the beta2 bits of SQLServer 2000.

The scenarios that we tried to address were mid-tier caches that want to
synchronize with the database. Direct pat specifications with replacement
values would not fit that well into these scenarios and would go more
towards an update language that would require a query language. While XPath
could cover some aspects, we did not want to invent something in that space
before XML Query and its relationship to update languages is clear.

Please note that people can design their own XML update language in
conjunction with the OpenXML XML rowset provider inside T-SQL stored
procedures.

I hope this helps.

Best regards
Michael
