Features

Benefits

High Performance

Special optimization and mediation provides the best possible XQuery performance including transparently converting relevant parts of the XQuery to efficient SQL statements for execution in relational databases.

Scalable

XML streaming and document projection drastically reduce the amount of memory required when processing large XML documents. Portions of the XQuery dealing with relational data are issued to the relational database as SQL to take advantage of database scalability.

Embeddable

Does not require any other product or application server and plugs into any architecture.

Data Source Independent

Integrates query results from XML, relational data, SOAP messages, EDI, legacy, or a combination of data sources

Web Services Integration

Easily consume or create Web Services from an XQuery.

RDBMS Updates

Efficient XML shredding and transparent relational updates for XQuery applications that need to insert, update, or delete data in relational tables.

Standards-based

Stability for developers through standards-based XQuery and XQJ implementations, tested with XQTS.

Plan Explain

Generates a graphical XQuery execution plan to provide information for optimal query tuning.

Connection Pooling

Integrates with the application server’s JDBC pool manager to take advantage of familiar connection pooling from other JDBC applications.
