Professional XML (Programmer to Programmer)

Obviously, not every developer in the world uses one of the databases discussed in this chapter. Many more databases are in use, and many of them also support some interaction with XML. Some of the more notable databases providing support for XML include:

• q Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 15-includes support for SQL/XML and XQuery.

• q Berkeley DB XML-formerly from Sleepycat Software, now owned by Oracle. Berkeley DB XML is a native XML database with full XQuery support and is capable of being embedded in other applications. Support for Java and C/C++ clients.

• q Mark Logic Server-native XML database (or Content Server, as the site calls it). It provides support for XQuery and XPath 2.0. In addition, it provides support for partitioning a database across multiple servers for better performance. Support for Java and .NET clients, as well as direct connection from Stylus Studio.
