Examples need a bit more thought...
Rated out of 5 stars, January 12th, 2007
This is a useful introduction to XML databases. However I found that the book tried to cover subject matter that a reader would probably already know if they were looking into storing XML in a database for example there are overviews on XML, XSLT, SQL and relational database tables.
I would have liked to have seen more detail on the Oracle and SQL Server utilites. The worst thing about this book is the examples. There is one example where the table is named "XML" and the column is also named "XML" so its difficult to determine when the code is referring to the table or the column. Its a good starting point, but I wish I'd bought a more detailed book.
