XQuery Operation Examples for an ACORD Insurance Application

Our example consists of several operations that you might typically want to perform against data (regardless of whether or not that data is stored in a relational database):

• Message processing
• Search and query of a single relational table
• Search and query of multiple relational tables
• Business validation
• Updating data in a single table
• Updating data in a multiple tables
• Integrating XML processing with EDI messages
• Report generation

The XQuery used to perform these operations are structured to rely on a library of functions that implements most of the logic about how to deal with the ACORD message and how to query the relational model described in the previous topic Each example is implemented by a specific XQuery that leverages the functions implemented in the acord_verbs.xquery imported module.
