The query language of the future
The official W3C XML Query language will:
- share many similarities with XML-QL;
- have a different syntax (in XML);
- interface with relational databases;
- use native query engines (Oracle, DB2, ...);
- be presented in 2001.
Members of the W3C Query Working Group have proposed Quilt
as the query language of the future. It is based on XPath.
