Syas Liam: I don't think so. SQL/XML extends SQL to add XML as a new kind of primitive SQL data type, like strings, numbers, and dates. What's needed here is a way to do ordinary SQL operations over an XDM-based database. -------------- Exactly. SQL/XML is the inverse problem as what I'm discussing. A simplistic mode is to map XML Document <-> SQL Table However after using MarkLogic and Exist for a while I'm getting to think of collection() <-> table XML Document <-> row Taking this one step further. Suppose were querying an XML Database (not an XML Document). Xquery Module <-> table XML Result <-> row This lets us model an XQUery module as the equivalent of a relational "View" and seperate us from the underlying document model. By defining a 'contract' for a set of Xquery modules that return a sequence as their result, (flattening the XML nodes) this might work well. Takes some thought how to do Insert/Update but along the same lines ... Xquery modules could be the glue that translates XDM <-> SQL without imposing a riged binding (fits all == fits none) of XML <-> SQL\ ---------------------------------------- David A.

I don't think so. SQL/XML extends SQL to add XML as a new kind of primitive SQL data type, like strings, numbers, and dates.
