Something like: http://www.server.com/databases/northwind.xsd/customers/orders[qty > '5'] I am pretty sure that Oracle does this as well. I personally think that this idea of an "XML View" is a great way to webify a relational database and make all of the data universally addressable. It is also consistent with RESTful idea of "mediated view" over a resource. SQL data thus exposed is accessible from XSLT document() function, and all of the other GET clients.
