Fw: Re:  XSLT & SQL
One advantage may be that SQL may perform the job faster than XSLT.

Thanks to all who responded to my query and gave me some points to consider
and discuss.

the short to medium future, and those would make such a tool largely
irrevelant.  There is no great advantage to using SQL unless the XML
information you have really is tabular, and really benefits from the
relational model (e.g. if it is very cross-linked).  This is often not the
case, and XSLT engines do what they do quite well enough for most purposes.
