The Case for XQuery: XML adoption is growing steadily
"Developers are under increasing pressure to work with heterogeneous information. The advent of XML provided a data representation suitable for both regular (database tables) and irregular content, and was a significant step forward, but representation alone is not enough. We need a powerful standardized method for querying that data as well. XQuery fulfills that need." |

SQL vs. XML in a Database World
Read this in-depth interview with Jonathan Robie, DataDirect's XML architect and one of the chief authors of XQuery. Here's a sample question:
"GCN: How is XQuery different from Structured Query Language?
ROBIE: SQL is a relational query language, XQuery is an Extensible Markup Language query language. If all you are doing is querying relational databases, then SQL is the language you want. XQuery works best if you're querying XML or a combination of XML and relational sources. " |

Playing with Data Using XML
"Last December at XML 2003, I met with Jonathan Robie, one of my XML heroes. You'll find his name on such core XML specifications as DOM, XML Schema, and XQuery. Jonathan is both a co-inventor of XQuery and, as XML program manager at DataDirect, a leading implementer of that standard. So he gets to combine theory with practice - nice work, if you can get it.
