XQuery and Databases

It provides the mechanism to efficiently and easily extract information from Native XML Databases (NXD) and relational data as well. The following database systems offer XQuery support:

Drag and Drop from Data Source Explorer

You can use <oXygen/>'s DND support when you are querying relational databases. Configure the relational data source and the database connection (as it was previously shown in this chapter), browse the connection up to table or column level and drag it in the editor (where an xquery file is open). An XPath expression of the selection will be inserted in the xquery document (at caret position).
