Executing an XQuery from the Command Line


		XQuery support is available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite and Stylus Studio XML Professional Suite.

You use the StylusXql utility to execute an XQuery from the command line. The StylusXql utility uses the Stylus Studio's built-in XQuery and XPath processors. The built-in processors are designed to aid testing and debugging and have not been optimized for performance. If you want to choose a particular processor, specify the processor in the XSLT scenario and run the scenario from within Stylus Studio.

The StylusXql utility takes the following format:

StylusXql [-in <source>] [-out<output file>] [-param name+value] [-i] [-debug host[:port]] <XQuery file>

Table 11 describes the parameters for the StylusXql command. All parameters are required.
