Abstract

In various application, it may be necessary to obtain XML representation from data maintained in relational databases. This paper presents a language called XML/SQL which is aimed at the specification of XML documents extracted from the results of relational queries. XML/SQL allows the creation of documents of arbitrary structure regardless of the structure of the relational data source. Further, XML/SQL is a declarative language, i.e., no procedural specification of the result is required.
