Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the lingua franca of business information exchange. And with "Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2000 With XML", developers get the expert guidance they need to build powerful, XML-enabled database applications for line-of-business, e-commerce, and the Web. Server databases are the core engines driving business in the Internet economy, and this practical guide focuses on how to exploit the built-in XML functionality, scalability, and speed in SQL Server 2000 within different business and technological scenarios -- including how to apply what you already know about HTTP and other standards -- for best advantage. The author steps through the development of several real-world solutions, including enterprise knowledge-management systems and ultrascalable electronic retail and business-to-business (B2B) solutions. All the book's code appears on the companion CD-ROM so readers can study and reuse them for their own projects.
