Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
XML is one of a family of web standards for data description, validation, manipulation, and interchange. It enables the construction of application-specific data languages, which can be handled by generic tools. Its other main benefits are its platform independence, self-describing structure, and human readability. All the big relational database vendors are adding XML support to their databases ñ and their confidence in XML as a maturing data standard is strengthening. Microsoft's commitment to XML extends beyond the database to include application and presentation layers, particularly in .NET. The nascent field of web services will depend on the effective interface between relational databases and the XML messages that link them. SQL Server 2000 XML Distilled is for you if: You are an experienced SQL Server professional (a DBA or data-tier developer) with a knowledge of the basics of XML who is being asked either to present relational data in an XML format, or to store XML data You are wondering what the motivation is in combining SQL Server 2000 and XML You want to understand what support SQL Server 2000 provides for these tasks You need the detail on the latest SQL Server XML features provided in SQLXML 3.0 You are concerned about the security and performance consequences of the design choices you make SQL Server 2000 XML Distilled shows you: Where XML as a data model makes sense When and how best to get both relational databases and XML to work together How to set up and configure the SQL Server XML environment How to query SQL Server data and return an XML format - FOR XML, URL, and template queries Ways to map between relational and XML schemas SQL Server Annotated Schemas, XML Views, and XPath queries How to store XML data in a relational database - OPENXML, Updategrams, and SQLXML BulkLoad .NET support for XML in SQL Server 2000 - SQLXML Managed Classes and DiffGrams Case studies of multi-client data acess and Biztalk working with SQL Server 2000 The future of XML support in SQL Server ñ web services and Xquery

This book covers all the gaps that exist in the XML feature list provided on MSDN and TechNet. The examples are succinct and to the point and the text is very well written. The examples in the book clearly illustrate the point that the author is trying to make and the common pitfalls are documented very well as well. I had always had difficulty in understanding XML features in RDBMS and this book helped me a lot to overcome those fears.

This book is an excellent addition to the documentation provided with SQLXML, especially if you are just starting to use SQLXML. The book helps you decide if SQLXML is right for your situation. If it is, the book will continue to walk you through some real examples, covering some of the pros and cons of different methods. Being a developer, I highly recommend this book if you are using or considering to use SQLXML in a Microsoft environment.

This book is technically competent, but goes right past the two most important factors; if you are developing XML, then you will probably be using Java, and that if you are developing applications (even with XML) on SQL server, then you are probably using COM+. Sorry.

This is what a technical publication should be. The book covers all aspects of SQLXML, from programming to administrative issues (including security concerns -- everyone needs to do more of that). It even discusses some of the other technologies out there, such as Oracle's integration with XML and the native xml datatype. If you are using or thinking of using SQLXML, I'd consider this book to be required reading.

The people who wrote this book have a great deal of real-world experience using these technologies, and it shows. While the SQL Server product documentation and the very first generation of SQL Server XML books are great for giving you a categorical treatment of the features, this book emphasizes the techniques that are proving to be most useful while providing experience-based warnings about potential pitfalls in other techniques. It's also great for getting perspective on pros and cons when you are designing something that could be implemented in multiple ways using SQL Server XML.
