Good News Friends!

The latest XMLSpy® 2009 now has support for the much talked about XQuery.

But first thing’s first, what exactly is XQuery?

XQuery is an important new language for extracting information from XML documents and databases.  XQuery is predicted to be for XML what SQL is to the relational database.

XQuery can be used for the following:

1. Extracting information from a database for  use in web service.

2. Generating summary reports on data stored in an XML database.

3. Searching text documents on the Web for relevant information and compiling the results.

4. Selecting and transforming XML data to XHTML to be published on the Web.
5. Pulling data from databases to be used for the application integration.

6. Splitting up an XML document that represents multiple transactions into multiple XML documents.

XMLSpy® 2009 XQuery Editor

XMLSpy® 2009 includes native support for XQuery 1.0. Developers create and edit XQuery documents using the same intelligent editing features provided for XML editing, including syntax coloring, context sensitive entry helpers, etc., and can even execute those XQuery expressions within XMLSpy® 2009.

XMLSpy® 2009 XQuery debugger

The intuitive XMLSpy® 2009 XQuery debugger includes a multi-panel interface that displays the XQuery document, the source XML document (optional), and the current XQuery processor context. Below these three panels, Context and Callstack information windows include multiple tabs that supply all the necessary debugging information.

XMLSpy® 2009 XQuery profiler

XMLSpy now includes an XQuery profiler for fully optimizing your XQuery (XML Query) code. The XQuery profiler monitors and records detailed metrics for each processing instruction executed during an XQuery execution, helping you identify and eliminate bottlenecks quickly.
