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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony B.

We are likely to see native XQuery implementations in 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. > > Cheers, > Tony. > > ======== > Anthony B.
