Home:Learn XQuery:White Papers:XQuery Myths:Not a Product Misunderstanding: XQuery is not product; XQuery is just a layer in a stack somewhereWhenever XML data needs to be managed and manipulated, XQuery is a specification for functions that a library or an application programming or service stack can provide. However, the underlying mechanism for storing, retrieving, and indexing the XML data makes a huge difference in the function, performance, and scalability of the XQuery implementation. For example, early attempts at storing XML data in varchar2 fields of a relational database resulted in poor query performance when an XQuery engine was simply layered on top. This led to specialized XQuery solutions in content management, data persistence, Web services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), data warehousing, online analytical processing (OLAP), extract/transform/load (ETL), enterprise application integration (EAI), and supply-side management. |
