Book Overview
XML has become the lingua franca for representing business data, for exchanging information between business partners and applications, and for adding structure-and sometimes meaning--to text-based documents. XML offers some special challenges and opportunities in the area of search: querying XML can produce very precise, fine-grained results, if you know how to express and execute those queries.For software developers and systems architects: this book teaches the most useful approaches to querying XML documents and repositories. This book will also help managers and project leaders grasp how "querying XML" fits into the larger context of querying and XML. Querying XML provides a comprehensive background from fundamental concepts (What is XML?) to data models (the Infoset, PSVI, XQuery Data Model), to APIs (querying XML from SQL or Java) and more.

A balanced view of XQuery with several excellent use-cases
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The authors are XQuery standardization committee members with long tenures at Oracle, thus possessing an unique grounding in that 'other' query language, SQL. As a result, the book is balanced with respect to what SQL/XML and XQuery can respectively do. A number of examples are provided, to illustrate where XQuery is useful and where other query mechanisms might work.
Excellent Book On XML and XQuery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Querying XML is the 800 page reference book I will now keep next to my keyboard for all things XQuery, XPath, and XML. The book has a nice and non-academic approach to learning XML and using the XML Query language (XQuery) to build application software. The book starts with data concepts and then gives in-depth explanations of the tools, APIs, and libraries available to work with the data. I wish the book covered XML-based application development frameworks and developer tools. Perhaps they steered clear of those topics to make this a book whose content will be valid and useful for years. -Frank
