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. This book will provide 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. SQL developers can use this resource to learn about the XML capabilities of SQL Server 2000. Focus is on XML document generation and database data insertion from XML documents. After a review of XML, coverage progresses to Document Type Definitions and their uses for document validation, the Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation, the XPath specification, and Microsoft's Extended Data Reduced Schema.
