XML and SQL Server 2000

XML and SQL Server 2000 will enable SQL developers to understand and work with XML, the preferred technology for integrating eBusiness systems. These developers have realized the need to be able to understand and work with high-speed storage and generation capabilities that XML documents and data offer. The pervasiveness of XML has finally caused the beginnings of the appearance of tools that allow easier manipulation of XML itself. SQL Server 2000 has added several new features that SQL Server 7 never had that make working with and generating XML easier for the developer. XML and SQL Server 2000 provides a comprehensive discussion of SQL Server 2000's XML capabilities. There is a brief discussion in the first two chapters on XSL/XSLT and DTD's targeted to database developers since most developers are new to this technology. From there, numerous examples are discussed in the areas of IIS Directories, http, XML views and XML schemas, openxml, and much more.
