Dear microsoft.public.sqlserver.xml community,

The first XQuery component to implement the XQuery API for Java™
(XQJ), DataDirect XQuery™, is now available in beta. DataDirect
XQuery allows you to query XML, relational databases, or a
combination of the two and integrate the results for any XML you
need. It does not require any other product or application
server, and has no server of its own – making it easily
embeddable into your applications. You can use the beta to
process XQuery expressions against Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server
and IBM DB2, directly from within your Java applications. Get
started today with XQuery and XQJ using the beta release of
DataDirect XQuery. Register and learn more about the beta
program at
