I did a bit of research on this, using Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=xml+sql+update Likewe also talked a lot about back in the SAG days, Update is imperative in a lanugage for a DBMS: Database Management System. And not just update for individual elements, but also support for e.g. batch updates as we know them from the SQL world: E.g.: "Update MyResearch set deadline=01.01.2003 where deadline=01.01.2002" I think that if XML shall succeed in becoming a usefull _data_ format and not advanced CSV files, XML (and connected standards) must support a full suite of standards for Data Definition Language DDL, (XML Schema), convertion (XSLT Y.?),and Data Manipulation Language, DML.
