SQL/XML

SQL/XML refers to the XML extensions of SQL. These are developed by INCITS H2.3, with participation from Oracle, IBM, Microsoft (which does not plan to implement SQL/XML), Sybase, and DataDirect Technologies. In SQL 2003, these extensions include:

XML Publishing Functions
The XML Datatype
Mapping Rules

The XML Publishing Functions are the part that are directly used in a SQL query. The XML Datatype governs the result of a query, and the Mapping Rules determine how SQL data or metadata is represented as XML.
