Re: What niche is XQuery targeting?


Re:  What niche is XQuery targeting?
Prakash,

	> The question is why would they bet on XQuery and not XSLT? XSLT is 
much more powerful in my mind

As the ex-architect of that given XQuery implementation, I can tell you 
that:

(a) no, XSLT is not more powerful; in fact it is LESS powerful. XQuery 
is richer then
XSLT 1.0 (no typed data support...)  and XSLT 2.0 seemed less widely 
adopted

(b) with a single shot we killed multiple birds: the same XQuery 
implementation
was used for message transformation, for WLI XML data manipulation, for 
pub/sub,
and for data integration.

(c) XQuery is more optimizable (but I **really** don't want to open 
that discussion again,
so just forget what I said   ...:-)

Best regards,
Dana
