Format:Paperback
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.

Very relevant combination in IT today..
26 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
I work with a lot of school leavers and people outside IT and often have to advise them on how to empower themselves in IT in the right way. Surely SQL and databases are one of the first topics people should understand. HTML was also high on the list. With this book, the author has combined all of them in one making it a very relevant combination for today's beginner. I will recommend this book to school leavers, financial people and people outside IT wanting to empower themselves quickly. Another great advantage of XML and databases is the platform independence. Very well done to the author for combining these topics at the entry level in such an easiliy understandable way!
Good SQL Server Examples
13 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
I bought this years back and never opened it until about 2 years ago when I had to do some MS SQL Server 2008 work. After fruitlessly searching for good XML SQL examples everywhere, i.e., on the net, MS, etc., I was really surprised to find a very nice chapter called "SQL Server and XML" in this book.
It really helped me to understand what the heck I needed to do to extract data out of XML columns... I haven't read much else in the book, but will keep as a reference for when needed.

I can't believe!
11 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
A book published in 2007 uses as markup plain old HTML, uses IE6 as XSLT processor... the worst book ever published about XML technologies.
I can't still believe!
