XQuery, also known as "XML Query", is an XML standard from the W3C for accessing and working with distributed information storage systems including content repositories, documents, relational databases, and object repositories using a simple and consise syntax. The XQuery language that uses the structure of XML intelligently can express queries across all these kinds of data, whether physically stored in XML or viewed as XML via middleware.

DataDirect XQuery can be used within Stylus Studio for developing and testing; however, deploying this feature into applications requires separate runtime licenses. For more information about DataDirect XQuery, please visit the DataDirect XQuery Product website.

Stylus Studio, the world's leading XQuery IDE which fully supports the XQuery working draft, is pleased to provide the following XQuery resources to further your understanding of this groundbreaking technology.

XQuery Tutorial

An XQuery Tutorial, entitled: Building XQuery based Web service aggregation and reporting applications, is available for free reading in PDF or HTML. This tutorial covers basic XQuery concepts and illustrates the creation of a sample stock-quote example Web service that uses XQuery technologies to efficiently aggregate and expose multiple data sources using Stylus Studio's XQuery tools. (Click here for more XQuery Tutorials...)

XQJ Tutorial

An XQJ Tutorial, entitled: Introduction to the XQuery API for Java. The XQuery language is designed specifically for XML programming and data integration, and programmers are more productive using XQuery for these tasks. However, many enterprise applications are built on the Java platform, and often require functionality not found in XQuery; for instance, many XML programs need to use the Web Services functionality of J2EE.

XML Tech Talks

Stylus Studio Sr. Architect Ivan Pedruzzi interviews industry movers and shakers for their take on the hottest upcoming XML technologies including the W3C's Dr. Michael Kay, Java Guru Jason Hunter, Microsoft's Michael Rys, and Oracle's Daniel Florescu.
