Xml Query Engine v0.99 is now shipping with early (0.25) XQuery support. If you want some introductory hands-on exploration of basic XQuery syntax, a free eval version of the engine is available at http://www.fatdog.com. You can now select either XQL or XQuery for your query language front end. From the readme: "This is a first cut at a very limited implementation of the full XQuery grammar. This implementation supports FLWR expressions, element constructors, a limited range of XPath expressions on elements only, simple predicates testing element existence and text equality, and that's about it. The good news is that with the exception of expression lists, FLWRs can be explored in almost full recursive generality, and the features that are in place can be employed against actual data." Here's a sample query: <results> FOR $book IN //book FOR $author IN $book/author WHERE $author/first = 'Dan' RETURN <DanTheMan> $author </DanTheMan> </results> If you have questions about this implementation, please contact me at howardk@f.... I'll be out of the office from Saturday, April 28 through Thursday, May 3, but will be checking email intermittently. Happy exploring!
